Prove that if n is an even integer, then n + 1 is odd. Give a proof by contraposition of this theorem.

S_A_V [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Proved below

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that n + 1 even when n is even, it means that;

n + 1 = 2x

Where x is an integer

Then;

n = 2x - 1

This means that n is odd because 2x - 1 is odd.

But we know that n is even, thus, our assumption is wrong.

Therefore, n + 1 is odd when n is even.

We use the distance formula for this problem.

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

The distance between point (-2,-2) and point (-2,4).
d = √[(⁻2 - ⁻2)² + (4 - ⁻2)²] = 6 units

Then, compute for 20% of 6 units:
Distance traveled = 6(0.2) = 1.2 units

Use 1.2 units as distance and the starting point (-2,-2). The x-coordinate should still be at -2 because the distance is a straight line as shown in the picture.
1.2 = √[(-2 - ⁻2)² + (y - ⁻2)²]
Solving for y,
y = -0.8

The point is found at (-2,-0.8). This is located at quadrant 3. As to the distance traveled, that would be: 1.2*6 = 6 miles. Thus, the answer is C.

Answer:

In response to the above problems, the predecessors have made many efforts. ese include collaborative computing between terminal devices and cloud servers [6][7][8], model compression and parameter pruning [9][10][11][12], or customized mobile implementation [13][14][15]. Despite all these efforts made by the predecessors, on the premise of ensuring the accuracy of the model required by the user, the service latency is minimized, and the user's hardware configuration and system status can be sensed to implement automatic model pruning and partition. ...

Is this the relation R:={(2,1),(3,1),(5,5),(7,5)} a function?
fredd [130]
<h3>Answer: Yes, it is a function</h3>

This is a function because there are no x values that repeat.

If we had repeated x values, then this would mean a certain input x leads to multiple outputs y, and that would not make it a function.

For instance, if we had (2,1) and (2,2) at the same time, then the input x = 2 leads to multiple outputs y = 1 and y = 2 at the same time. A function would not be possible in this example.

A function is only possible if any input x leads to exactly one output y. It is possible for y to repeat itself and still have a function.
