Let R(m, n) be the predicate “If m is a factor of n2 then m is a factor of n,” with domain for both m and n being the set Z of integers.

a. Explain why R(m, n) is false if m = 25 and n = 10.


b. Give values different from those in part (a) for which R(m, n) is false.


c. Explain why R(m, n) is true if m = 5 and n = 10.


d. Give values different from those in part (c) for which R(m, n) is true.
