Consider expression
First, you can factor it:

Since x is integer number, then you can see that x-1 is previous integer number (x-1 is 1 unit smaller than x).
Therefore, x-1 and x are two consecutive integers. When you have two consecutive integers, one of them is always even and one is always odd. Multiplying even integer number by odd integer number you always get even integer number.
Thus,
is always even.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 0 = (r + 1)(r + 8)
Using Zero Product Property, r = -1, r = -8
2. h(r) = (r + 1)(r + 8)
= r² + 9r + 8
= (r + 9/2)² - 81/4 + 8
= (r + 4.5)² - 12.25 (Complete the square)
Vertex: (-4.5, -12.25)
Answer:
The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c). The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division.
