Write negations for each of the following statements. (Assume that all variables represent fixed quantities or entities, as appropriate.)

a. If P is a square, then P is a rectangle.

b. If today is New Year's Eve, then tomorrow is January.

c. If the decimal expansion of r is terminating, then r is rational.

d. If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2.

e. If x is nonnegative, then x is positive or x is 0.

f. If Tom is Ann's father, then Jim is her uncle and Sue is her aunt.

g. If n is divisible by 6, then n is divisible by 2 and n is divisible by 3.

    a. P is a square and P is not a rectangle

    b. Today is New Year's Eve and tomorrow is not January.

    c. The decimal expansion of r is terminating and r is not rational.

    d. n is prime and either n is not odd or n is not 2.

    e. x is nonnegative and either x is not positive or x is not 0.

    f. Tom is Ann's father and either Jim is not her uncle or Sue is not her aunt.

    g. n is divisible by 6 and either n is not divisible by 2 or n is not divisible by 3.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The general formula for negations that will be applied is:

    Statement: If x is y, then x is z

    Negation: x is y and x is not z

    Statement: If x is y, then x is z and w

    Negation: x is y and either x is not z or x is not w

    Applying those principles:

    a. P is a square and P is not a rectangle

    b. Today is New Year's Eve and tomorrow is not January.

    c. The decimal expansion of r is terminating and r is not rational.

    d. n is prime and either n is not odd or n is not 2.

    e. x is nonnegative and either x is not positive or x is not 0.

    f. Tom is Ann's father and either Jim is not her uncle or Sue is not her aunt.

    g. n is divisible by 6 and either n is not divisible by 2 or n is not divisible by 3.
