Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let Z be a set of integers

We have to prove that x^2-5x-1 is odd for all value of x \inZ.

There are two cases

1.When x is an odd integer number

2.when x is even integer number

1.When x is an odd integer  number

When x is positive odd integer

Then x^2  is positive odd number (because square of odd positive number is always positive an odd number )

5x is also odd number

-5x -1 = -even number

Suppose x=3

Then -15-1=-16

Odd number - even number=Odd number

Hence ,x^2-5x-1 is an odd number .

When x is negative odd number

Then  x square is positive odd number  and 5x is negative odd term term

Therefore,odd number + odd number -1=Even  number -1=Odd number

Hence x^2-5x-1 is an odd number.

2.When  x is an even number

When x is positive even number

x square is positive even number  and 5x is positive even number

Even number -Even number -1 =Even number -odd number =Odd number

Suppose x=4

x^2-5x-1=16-20-1=-5=Odd number

When x is negative even number

Then x square is positive even number  and 5x is negative even number

x^2-5x-1=Even number +Even number -1=Even number -1=Odd number

Hence, for all elements of Zx^2-5x-1is odd.

Points R, T, S, and Q are
Sladkaya [172]
Neither collinear nor coplanar.
All of the points would have to be on the same line to make them collinear, and they would also have to be on the same plane to make them coplanar. We can see in the diagram that not all of the points are on a line, and that some are at different heights than others.
