b) Use the logical equivalence established in part (a) to rewrite the following sentence in two different ways. (Assume that n represents a fixed integer.) If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2.

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

The question is asking you to rewrite the sentence in two different ways in English

If n is prime and n is not odd, then n is 2.
If n is prime and n is not 2, then n is odd.
