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.

28,000 +3,000= 31,000 +3,000 = 34,000 +3,000 = 37,000 +3,000 = 40,000 +3,000 = 43,000 + 3,000 = 46,000

36,000 +2,000= 38,000 +2,000 = 40,000 +2,000 = 42,000 +2,000 = 44,000 +2,000 = 46,000
 
THE SALARY WOULD BE 46,000
 IT WOULD TAKE 6 YEARS

I hope i did that right

If f(x) = 3x + 7, find:<br> f(3) = [?]<br> Enter
Elan Coil [88]
F(3)= 16. Essentially, you need to substitute 3 for x, which would look like this: 3(3) + 7. Then, by using PEMDAS/the order of operations, multiply 3 by 3 to get 9, and then add 7 to get 16.
