Which of the following could represent consecutive even integers?

2 answers:

Only b. x+1, x+3 as long as x is an odd integer

a. x+1, x+2, wouldn't be consecutive even integers. If x is odd (e.g. 1), then 1+1=2 would be even but, 1+2=3 would be odd.

c. 2x, 2x+1, wouldn't be the answer. 2x will certainly be even but 2x+1 is going to be odd.

Answer:

b. x + 1, x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers : a number with no fraction part is called integers,

eg: ......-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3......

Even integers : the integers which are multiple of 2.

Since, the difference between two consecutive even integers is always 2.

Eg : 2 and 4 are consecutive even integers.

⇒ 4 - 2 = 2.

∵ x + 2 - (x + 1) = x + 2 - x - 1 = 1,

x + 3 - (x+1) = x + 3 - x - 1 = 2,

2x + 1 - 2x = 1,

Hence, only x + 1 and x + 3 represent consecutive even integers

Find a formula for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence first term -17 common difference 5

hoa [83]

Given :-

First term of an AP is -17 .
Common difference is 5 .

To Find :-

The formula for the nth term .

Solution :-

We know that the nth term of an AP is given by ,

$T_n = a +(n-1)d$

where ,

a is the First term .
n is the number of the term .
d is the common difference .
T_n is the nth term .

On substituting the respective values we have ,

$T_n = -17 + (n -1)5 \\$

Open the brackets ,

$T_n = -17 + 5n - 5$

Simplify ,

$T_n = 5n -22$

Hence the nth term of the AP is given by 5n -22.

I hope this helps.
