For any integer x,x2-x will always produce an even value

Mathematics

Levart [38]3 years ago

Consider expression x^2-x. First, you can factor it:

x^2-x=x(x-1).

Since x is integer number, then you can see that x-1 is previous integer number (x-1 is 1 unit smaller than x).

Therefore, x-1 and x are two consecutive integers. When you have two consecutive integers, one of them is always even and one is always odd. Multiplying even integer number by odd integer number you always get even integer number.

Thus, x^2-x is always even.

How to calculate the distance for graphs?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

\sqrt{(x1-x2)^{2}+(y1-y2)^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the distance formula for cartesian coordinate systems, or your typical xy graph. If given two points to find the distance between, you can assign '1' or '2' to the points, i.e. (1,1) and (2,2) could be: (1,1) is (x1,y1) and (2,2) is (x2,y2). It doesn't matter which point is 1 or 2. If we were to use those example points in this formula, we would have:

\sqrt{(1-2)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}

We can simplify and come up with:

\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}

=\sqrt{2}

We must remember that square roots can be positive OR negative, HOWEVER, because you are looking for a distance it must be positive \sqrt{2}.

Hope this helped!
