(10pts)Use a truth table to check the validity of the following argument.• P1: If Bob is not on the Mets, then Tom is on the Yankees.• P2: If Tom is not on the Yankees, then Bob is on the Mets.• C: Bob is not on the Mets or Tom is not on the Yankees.2 (8pts) Let U = Z. Are the following true or false? Explain.• ∀x ∃y [x + y = 0]• ∃y ∀x [x + y = 0]• ∀x ∃!y [xy = 0]• ∀x ∃!y [xy = 1]3 (10pts) Prove or disprove: The even negative integers are a countably infinite set.4 (10pts) Prove that for all integers n, n is odd if and only if n3is odd.Note: Do not use induction.5 (14pts) Let A, B, C be subsets of a universe U . Prove using the element method or disprove witha counterexample.1. If C ⊆ A − B then B ∩ C = φ2. C − (B − A) ⊆ A ∪ (B ∩ C)3.
