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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Find the side lengths ! help pls
sergeinik [125]

(a) the given triangle is a isosceles triangle, therefore the two leg sides will be congruent, as well as the two base angles. It is given that one of the base angles ∠XYW is 70°, therefore, due to the law of a isosceles triangle, the measurement of ∠XWY is also 70°. Remember, a triangle's interior angles add up to 180°, so:

180 - (70 + 70) = 180 - 140 = 40

40° is your answer.

m∠X = 40°

(b) All sides are congruent, making it a equilateral triangle. If it is a equilateral triangle, then all the angles also have the same measurement. The total of the interior angle's measurement is 180°. Divide by the amount of angles, 3:

180/3 = 60

60° is your answer.

m∠V = 60°

Setting:
nata0808 [166]
A. Mr. Kent interviewed the 54 students as they are going to leave the school, it is not considered to be a random sample. It is because a random sample is when a set is taken from a population. Mr. Kent interviewed the 54 who are going to leave, meaning, he didn't take a set out of that 54, he took all of them. So it is not a random sample.

b. The question that Mr. Kent asked is considered to be a leading question, so it does not seem biased.

c. If there are 54 respondents.
51 = yes, the rest is no.
= 54 - 51 = 3
= 3 is now divided to 54 = 3/54
= giving an answer of 0.0555
= 0.0555 x 100
= 5.6%
= The percent of responses that says 'no' is 5.6%
