N is a positive integer

Murrr4er [49]

Part (1)

n is some positive integer. Let's say for now that n is even. So n = 2k, for some integer k

This means n-1 = 2k-1 is odd since subtracting 1 from an even number leads to an odd number.

Now multiply n with n-1 to get

n(n-1) = 2k(2k-1) = 2m

where m = k(2k-1) is an integer

The result 2m is even showing that n(n-1) is even

------------

Let's say that n is odd this time. That means n = 2k+1 for some integer k

And also n-1 = 2k+1-1 = 2k showing n-1 is even

Now multiply n and n-1

n(n-1) = (2k+1)(2k) = 2k(2k+1) = 2m

where m = k(2k+1) is an integer

We've shown that n(n-1) is even here as well.

------------

So overall, n(n-1) is even regardless if n is even or if n is odd.

Either n or n-1 will be even. If you multiply an even number with any number, the result will be even.

=======================================================

Part (2)

n is some positive integer

2n is always even since 2 is a factor of 2n

2n+1 is always odd because we're adding 1 to an even number. The sequence of integers goes even,odd,even,odd, etc and it does this forever.

-----------

Another way to see how 2n+1 is odd is to divide 2n+1 over 2 and you'll find that we get (2n+1)/2 = 2n/2+1/2 = n+0.5

The 0.5 at the end is not an integer, so there's no way that (2n+1)/2 is an integer; therefore 2n+1 is odd.

Sara has $65 and wants to buy the following items from a store. Board game: $14.95 Building blocks: $25.49 Art kit: $35.79 At th

valina [46]

The correct statement is Sara can afford to purchase the items because the final price of the items is $60.

The first step is to determine the total cost of the items Sara wants to buy. The total cost can be determined by adding the cost of the items together.

Total cost = $14.95 + $25.49 + $35.79 = $76.23

The second step is to determine the cost of the items after the discount.

Price of the items = total cost x (1 - discount)

= total cost x (1 - 1/4)

total cost x 3/4

$76.23 x 3/4 = $57.17

The third step is to determine the cost of the items after tax.

Cost = (1.05) x $57.17 =$60.03

Answer:

p=18x+4

a=20x^2+17x-63

a=1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

l=5x-7

w=4x+9

Required:

Area of the rectangle=?

Perimeter of the rectangle=?

If x = 9 inches what is the area of the shape=?

Formula:

a=l*w

p=2(l+w)

Solution:

p=2(l+w)

p=2(5x-7)+2(4x+9)

p=10x-14+8x+18

p=10x+8x+18-14

p=18x+4

a=l*w

a=(5x-7)(4x+9)

a=20x^2+45x-28x-63

a=20x^2+17x-63

Area of the shape if x=9in

a=20x^2+17x-63

a=20(81)+17(9)-63

a=1620+153-63

a=1413-63

a=1350
