Consider the following statement. There is an integer n such that 2n² - 5n + 2 is prime. To prove the statement it suffices to find a value of n such that (n, 2n² - 5n+ 2) satisfies the property "2n² - 5n+ 2 is prime." Show that you can do this by entering appropriat values for n and 2n² - 5n + 2. (n, 2n² - 5n + 2) = 3 X
