Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b represent two odd integers.

The average (A) is defined by:

A=\frac{a+b}{2}

In order to prove the statement, you have to show that it's true for all odd integers. But, to disprove it, you just have to find a counterexample where the statement is false.

Notice that it is easier to try to find a counterexample.

For example, a=3 and b=5

A= \frac{3+5}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4

The result of the average is even, therefore the statement is false.

The previous calculation is a counterexample.

aliya0001 [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h2>(4, 6)</h2>

<u>Explanation:</u>

x = -4 + (12 - (-4))/2

x = -4 + (12+4)/2

x = -4 + 16/2

x = -4 + 8

x = 4

y = 2 + (10 - 2)/2

y = 2 + 8/2

y = 2 + 4

y = 6

the coordinates of the center of the circle: (4, 6)
