F n and m are integers and n2 m2 is even, which of the following is impossible?

1 answer:

6 0

So, I think that you mean that

n²+m² is even? (the "plus" sign is missing, but I think this is correct).

this can only happen if either:

both n and m are even
or
both n and m are odd

That's because a sum of two expressions is even if either both or none of the expressions summed is even, and a power of a number is even only if the number is even too.

are those some of the options?

yes!
n and m are even,- possible!
n and m are odd, -possible!
n+m is even, - possible; it would be the case if either both n and m are even or both n and m are odd n+m is odd,

so the option we'll choose is:

none of these are impossible

For all integers n, if n2 is odd, then n is odd. Use a proof by contraposition, as in Lemma 1.1. Let n be an integer. Suppose th

Reil [10]

Let's assume that the statement "if n^2 is odd, then is odd" is false. That would mean "n^2 is odd" leads to "n is even"

Suppose n is even. That means n = 2k where k is any integer.

Square both sides

n = 2k
n^2 = (2k)^2
n^2 = 4k^2
n^2 = 2*(2k^2)

The expression 2(2k^2) is in the form 2m where m is an integer (m = 2k^2) which shows us that n^2 is also even.

So this contradicts the initial statement which forces n to be odd.

Which graph best represents a logarithmic function

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Graphing a logarithmic function can be done by examining the exponential function graph and then swapping x and y. The graph of an exponential function f (x) = b x or y = b x contains the following features: The domain of an exponential function is real numbers (-infinity, infinity). The range is also positive real numbers (0, infinity)
