4. Which is a counterexample that disproves the conjecture? If a number is a multiple of 2, then it is a multiple of 8. (Points : 1) 11 15 this one is not 16 the 1 bigger then the 6 1 6 18

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

i think the answer is c |dw:1400725676540:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think 16 IS a multiple of 8

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

so what do you think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand what the question is really asking?

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is a fair honest answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If a number is a multiple of 2, then it is a multiple of 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you want a COUNTER example that means an example of a number that is a multiple of 2, but is not a multiple of 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other words a number that fits the first part of the statement, the "if" part but does not fit the "then" part

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

so its not going to be equal to 8 but it is going to be equal to 2
