N is a positive integer.Explain why n(n-1) must be an even number.

Mathematics
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

n and (n - 1) are consecutive integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 'n', a positive integer.

This 'n' can either be odd or even.

Case I:

When 'n' is odd

The n - 1 is even.

Note that the product of odd and even is always even. That is the product of n and (n - 1) is even.

Case II:

when 'n' is even

Then n - 1 is odd.

Again, using the similar logic we can say that the product of n and n - 1 should be even because here, 'n - 1' is even and 'n' is odd.

The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 9 and the fifth term is 21 . If the first term if a1, which is an equation for the n
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A: an = 6n - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

third term in an arithmetic sequence is 9

a3 = a + 2d

a + 2d = 9

the fifth term is 21

a5 = a + 4d

a + 4d = 21

a + 2d = 9 (1)

a + 4d = 21 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate a

4d - 2d = 21 - 9

2d = 12

d = 12/2

d = 6

Substitute d = 6 into (1)

a + 2d = 9 (1)

a + 2(6) = 9

a + 12 = 9

a = 9 - 12

a = -3

nth term of this sequence = a + (n - 1)d

= -3 + (n - 1)6

= -3 + 6n - 6

= 6n - 9

an = 6n - 9

Find the first three terms of the sequence below.<br> T, = n2 + 2n +9
NikAS [45]

Answer:

12, 17, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 3 terms, substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the rule, that is

T₁ = 1² + 2(1) + 9 = 1 + 2 + 9 = 12

T₂ = 2² + 2(2) + 9 = 4 + 4 + 9 = 17

T₃ = 3² + 2(3) + 9 = 9 + 6 + 9 = 24
