Difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is not divisible by 2

Hmm, let's prove that

consecutive integers are even then odd or odd then even

all even integers can be represented by 2n where n is an integer
all odd integers can be represetned by 2n+1 or 2n-1

all numbers divisible by 2 are even

alright

we wil start with even then odd
2n and 2n+1 are our even and odd numbes, the
their square are 4n² and 4n²+4n+1 respectively
their difference is 4n+1 or 2n+2n+1, an even+an odd, resulting in an odd difference

lets try odd then even
odd is 2n-1 and the even is 2n
their square are 4n²-4n+1 and 4n² respectively
their difference is 4n-1 which is 2n+2n-1, another even+odd combo, resulting in an odd difference



proven, the difference between the squares of 2 consecutive numbers is not divisible by 2

How to solve 3/2 = 9/10k (in fraction form). Please show work
antoniya [11.8K]
3/2 and 9/10. Look at the denominators. 2 times what number equals 10. That number would be 5. So if you multiply the first fractions denominator by 5 you get 10. Do the same to the top. you get a new fracrion which is 15/10. Add normally. 15/10 + 9/10 = 24/10. In lowest terms it is 2 2/5 (2 wholes and 2 out of 5)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the equation in the form ax+by+c=0:

y\sqrt{3} =8x+\sqrt{3} \\=>8x-\sqrt{3} y+\sqrt{3} =0

Check the solutions:

(0,-1):

8(0)-\sqrt{3} (-1)+\sqrt{3} =2\sqrt{3}

So this is not a solution.

((\sqrt{3} ,9):

8\sqrt{3} -9\sqrt{3} +\sqrt{3} =0

So this is a solution
