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

Need help with math ASAP (Please)

First you plot in the y-intercept of the equation. To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 into x. -3m will cancel our giving you y=5. x=0, y=5, the first ordered pair is (0,5). Now after you plot in the y-intercept, use your slope, which is -3, to graph the points of the equation. Starting from (0,5), move down 3 spaces on the y-axis (because it’s -3) and you’ll end up at (0,2). Next move over 1 ( all slopes with just a whole number moves on the x-axis 1 since the whole number divided by 1 doesn’t change the slope number) to the right because it’s a negative linear equation so it’ll go downward. After moving right, you’ll get (1,2). Do a couple more points starting from (1,2) then the 3rd point ABD and so on to get 3 or more points to be able to draw a linear line.

Answer:

x^2 - x^3 - 3x^2y - 3xy^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 +y^3 - (x + y)^3​

Expand the expression

x^2 + y^3 - (x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 +y3)

Remove the parentheses

x^2 +y^3 -x^3 -3x^2y -3xy^2 - y^3

Remove the opposites

Answer:

x^2 - x^3 - 3x^2y - 3xy^2

Hope this Helps!
