Answer: yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 simultaniously.

n = k(k+1)(k-1)

If k-1 is a multiple of 3, n is divisible by 3, so one of the requirements is ok.

Now, if k-1 is a multiple of 3, it can be even or odd.

if k-1 is even, then it is divisible by 2 and as it is divisible by 3 as well, n is divisible by 6

if k-1 is odd, then k and k+1 is even, hence, divisible by 2.

As n = k(k+1)(k-1), n is also divisible by 6.

Determine the equation of the circle graphed below.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

=  >  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  + 6x - 14y + 49 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can see that

Diameter = 6 units

=> Radius = 3 units and centre is at (-3,7)

=> Equation is Circle with centre (-3,7) and radius of 3 units will be

=  >  {(x + 3)}^{2}  +  {(y - 7)}^{2}  =  {3}^{2}

=  > ( {x}^{2}  + 6x + 9) + ( {y}^{2}  - 14y + 49) = 9

=  >  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  + 6x - 14y + 49 = 0
