Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Given that x and y is even, we want to prove that xy is also even.

For x and y to be even, x and y have to be a multiple of 2. Let x = 2k and y = 2p where k and p are real numbers. xy = 2k x 2p = 4kp = 2(2kp). The product is a multiple of 2, this means the number is also even. Hence xy is even when x and y are even.

(b) in reality, if an odd number multiplies and odd number, the result is also an odd number. Therefore, the question is wrong. I assume they wanted to ask for the proof that the product is also odd. If that's the case, then this is the proof:

Given that x and y are odd, we want to prove that xy is odd. For x and y to be odd, they have to be multiples of 2 with 1 added to it. Therefore, suppose x = 2k + 1 and y = 2p + 1 then xy = (2k + 1)(2p + 1) = 4kp + 2k + 2p + 1 = 2(kp + k + p) + 1. Let kp + k + p = q, then we have 2q + 1 which is also odd.

(c) Given that x is odd we want to prove that 3x is also odd. Firstly, we've proven above that xy is odd if x and y are odd. 3 is an odd number and we are told that x is odd. Therefore it follows from the second proof that 3x is also odd.

Which expression entered into a graphing calculator will return the probability
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

B. binomcdf(100, 0.5, 35)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomcdf function:

The binomcdf function has the following syntax:

binomcdf(n,p,a)

In which n is the number of trials, p is the probability of a success in a trial and a is the number of sucesses.

35 or fewer heads come up when flipping a coin 100 times.

100 coins are flipped, which means that n = 100.

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so p = 0.5

35 or fewer heads, so a = 35.

Then

binomcdf(n,p,a) = binomcdf(100,0.5,35)

The correct answer is given by option B.

Tributive Property<br>each of the following. Show for what val<br>x - 2(x - 2) =<br>X​
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction is not commutative. For example, 4 − 7 does not have the same difference as 7 − 4. The − sign here means subtraction.

 

However, recall that 4 − 7 can be rewritten as 4 + (−7), since subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. Applying the commutative property for addition here, you can say that 4 + (−7) is the same as (−7) + 4. Notice how this expression is very different than 7 – 4.
