For any integer x, x^2-x will always produce an even value. True or false

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago

That true. You have two ways to show it:

Method 1:

Factor the expression. You have

x^2-x = x(x-1)

So, you're multiplying two consecutive numbers. One of them must be even, and if a factor of a product is even, the result will be even.

Method 2:

If x is even, x^2 is even as well. So, x^2-x is a subtraction between even numbers, which gives an even number.

If x is odd, x^2 is odd as well. So, x^2-x is a subtraction between odd numbers, which gives an even number.

A sphere and a cube have equal surface areas. The length of one edge of the cube is 1.11 meters. What is the radius of the spher
Nady [450]

Answer:

  0.767 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a cube of edge length s is given by ...

  A = 6s^2

The area of a sphere of radius r is given by ...

  A = 4πr^2

When these two are equal, we have ...

  6s^2 = 4πr^2

  r^2 = 6s^2/(4π)

  r = s·√(3/(2π)) ≈ s·0.690988

The radius of the sphere is about ...

  r ≈ 0.690899×1.11 m

  r ≈ 0.767 m . . . . approximate sphere radius
