Theorem: the sum of any two even integers equals 4k for some integer k. "proof: suppose m and n are any two even integers. by de

finition of even, m = 2k for some integer k and n = 2k for some integer k. by substitution, m + n = 2k + 2k = 4k. this is what was to be shown." what's the mistakes in this proof?

Remark

The proof is only true if m and n are equal. Make it more general.

m = 2k

n = 2v

m + n = 2k + 2v = 2(k + v).

k and v can be equal but many times they are not. From that simple equation you cannot do anything for sure but divide by 2.

There are 4 combinations

m is divisible by 4 and n is not. The result will not be divisible by 4.

m is not divisible by 4 but n is. The result will not be divisible by 4.

But are divisible by 4 then the sum will be as well. Here's the really odd result

If both are even and not divisible by 4 then their sum is divisible by 4

A sector with an area of \goldE{48\pi,\text{cm}^2}48πcm 2 start color #a75a05, 48, pi, start text, c, m, end text, squared, end
erik [133]

Answer:

3/8 π radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of a sector when then central angle is in radians = 1/2r² θ

Where

θ = central angle = ?

r = 16 cm

Area of the sector = 48πcm²

Hence

Central angle = Area of a sector ÷ (1/2r²)

= 48πcm² ÷ (1/2 × 16²)

= 48πcm² ÷ 128

Central angle = 3/8π radians

Therefore, Central angle = 3/8π radians

Does exponents help us write repeated addition or multiplication? Explain
sergij07 [2.7K]
Multiplication is a way to represent repeated addition. ... Instead, we can write this repeated multiplication using an exponent, which is the number of repeated factors. Exponents are written as a superscript number to the right of the number being multiplied.
