Answer:

a CANNOT be even ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rules of even and odd numbers

- Even numbers any number its unit digit is (0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8)

- Odd numbers any number its unit digit is (1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9)

# even + even = even ⇒ 2 + 4 = 6  

# odd + odd = even ⇒ 1 + 3 = 4  

# odd + even = odd ⇒ 1 + 2 = 3  

# even × even = even ⇒ 2 × 4 = 8

# odd × odd = odd  

⇒ 3 × 5 = 15

# odd × even = even  ⇒ 5 × 6 = 30

∵ a[b(c + d) + e] = odd

∵ odd × odd = odd  

∴ a must be odd and [b(c + d) + e] must be odd

∵ odd + even = odd

∵ odd × even = even

# Case 1

∴ b(c + d) must be odd  if e even

∵ b(c + d) is odd

∴ b must be odd and (c + d) must be odd

∵ c + d must be odd

∵ odd + even = odd

∴ c or d can be even

- We now now that e , c and d can be even

# case 2

∴ b(c + d) must be even  if e odd

∵ b(c + d) is even

∵ even × even = even

∴ b and (c + d) both can be even

∵ c + d can be even

∴ c or d can be even or odd

- We now now that e , c , d and b can be even

∴ Only a can not be even

* a CANNOT be even

Ryan bought a brand new car for $18,000. Its value depreciated at a rate of 1.2%.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

A(t)= 18000(0.988)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ryan bought a brand new car for $18,000

Its value depreciated at a rate of 1.2%

Let us use the compound expression

A= P(1-r)^t

substitute

A= 18000(1-0.012)^t

A(t)= 18000(0.988)^t

Hence the expression is A(t)= 18000(0.988)^t

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Matias divided 7.6 by 10 raised to the power of -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Matias preformed an operation with 7.6 and a number. He ended up moving the decimal point in 7.6 two places to the left.

To find : Matias divided 7.6 by 10 raised to the power of ?

Solution :

Matias preformed an operation with 7.6 and a number.

He ended up moving the decimal point in 7.6 two places to the left we have to multiply it with 0.01

i.e. 7.6\times 0.01=\frac{7.6}{100}=0.076

So, Matias divided 7.6 by 10 raised to the power of -2.
