Prove using the notion of without loss of generality that 5x 5y is an odd integer when x and y are integers of opposite parity.

1 answer:

6 0

The expression is
5x + 5y
We are to prove that it is an odd integer when x and y are integers of opposite parity
First, we can assume
x = 2a (even)
y = 2b + 1(odd)
subsituting
10(a + b) + 5
5 [(2(a + b) + 1]
The term
2(a + b) + 1 is odd and the result of an odd number multiplied by an odd number is odd

For the inverse variation equation xy = k, what is the value of x when y = 4 and k = 7? 3 28

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The value of x is $\frac{7}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the inverse variation equation is

$xy=k$ ..... (1)

The value of y is 4 and the value of k is 7.

Substitute y=4 and k=7 in equation (1).

$x\times 4=7$

Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{x\times 4}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$

$x=\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore the value of x is $\frac{7}{4}$ .

How do I subtract fractions

sesenic [268]

To perform the correct operation as to subtract numbers, make sure the denominators are the same, and then one can then subtract and remove a smaller number from the larger one.

This same method also holds true for adding fractions together as well.

Another way to subtract fractions is to convert them from fraction form to decimal form and then align the decimal points and subtract the values.
