Step 1
For part (a) x (If xis a prime number and x is not equal to 2 then x is an odd number)
Every prime number except 2 is an odd number.
Step 2
For part (b)
F ( x ) = x is in the freshman class
R ( x , y ) = x has roommate y
Original Statement is x F ( x ) y R ( x , y )
Negation will be as follows:
x F ( x ) y R ( x , y )
x ( F ( x ) y R ( x , y )
x F ( x ) y R ( x , y )
x F ( x ) y R ( x , y )
x F ( x ) y R ( x , y )
