Is N² + N always an even number? Explain

Mathematics
1 answer:
qaws [65]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes.

Let's first start with even numbers. (N - even number)

Any even number squared, is an even number. Then, we add that squared even number to another even number which would give us an even number.

Now, let's see odd numbers.

Any odd number squared would be an odd number. When you add "N", it would be adding an odd number to an odd number, which gives you an even number.

OR

We can start by factoring the expression:

N^2+N=N(N+1)

This is essentially multiplying two consecutive numbers, which in turn means that one number has to be even, and one has to be odd. An odd number multiplied by an even number will always be even.

The third term of the sequence is 120. The fifth term is 76.8 The explicit rule for the geometric sequence is an=?(?)n-1
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The explicit rule of the geometric sequence

 aₙ   = 187.5 (0.8)ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that the third term of the sequence = 120

        tₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹  

       t₃  = a r³⁻¹ = ar²

        120 = ar² ..(i)

Given that the fifth term of the given geometric sequence = 76.8

        tₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹  

       t₅  = a r⁵⁻¹ = a r⁴

   76.8  = a r⁴...(ii)

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

 Dividing (ii) and (i)

         \frac{ar^{4} }{ar^{2} } = \frac{76.8}{120}

        r²   = 0.64

       r    =√ 0.64 = 0.8

Substitute r= 0.8 in equation (i)

         120 = ar²

       120 = a(0.8)²

⇒      a = \frac{120}{0.64} =187.5

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

The explicit rule of the geometric sequence

                 aₙ  = a rⁿ⁻¹

put a= 187.5  and r = 0.8

                aₙ   = 187.5 (0.8)ⁿ⁻¹

Solve for x in each of the equations or inequalities below, and name the property and/or properties used:
nordsb [41]

Answer

a) 3/4 x = 9

    x = \dfrac{9\times 4}{3}

    x = 12

b)  10+ 3x = 5x

     2 x = 10

        x = 5

c) a + x = b

       x = b - a

d) c x = d

      x =  \dfrac{d}{c}

e)  \dfrac{1}{2} x - g < m

     \dfrac{1}{2} x< m + g

              x  < 2( m + g)

f) q + 5 x = 7 x - r

   q + r = 2 x

      x = \dfrac{q + r}{2}
