Prove that the following two statements are not logically equivalent. In your proof, completely justify your answer. (a) A real number is less than 1 only if its reciprocal is greater than 1. (b) Having a reciprocal greater than 1 is a sufficient condition for a real number to be less than 1. Proof: #2. Prove that the following is a valid argument: All real numbers have nonnegative squares. The number i has a negative square. Therefore, the...
