(20pts) Prove that the product of any two odd numbers is always odd. Make sure to explain your proof​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because odd numbers are always 1 greater than even numbers, we can call the two odd numbers x + 1 and y + 1 where x and y are even integers. Multiplying the two gives us:

(x + 1) * (y + 1)

= x * y + x * 1 + 1 * y + 1 * 1

= xy + x + y + 1

We know that x * y will be even because x and y are also even and the sum of two even numbers will be even, and we also know that x and y are even and that 1 is odd. Since the sum of even and odd numbers is always odd, the product of any two numbers is always odd.

*NOTE: I put a limitation on x and y in my proof (the limitation was that x and y must be EVEN integers) but you don't have to do that, you could make the odd integers 2x + 1 and 2y + 1 where x and y could be any integer from the set Z like mirai123 did. I simply gave this proof because it was the first thing that came to mind. While mirai123's proof and mine are different, they are still both correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

Prove that the product of any two odd numbers is always odd.

Examples:

[tex]3 \cdot 7 = 21 \text{ } \boxed{\text{odd}}\\5 \cdot 9 = 45 \text{ } \boxed{\text{odd}}\\83 \cdot 3 = 249 \text{ } \boxed{\text{odd}}[/tex]

Defining an odd number as:

[tex]u= 2k+1, k \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]

[tex]u \cdot u = (2k+1)(2k+1)= 4k^2+4k+1[/tex]

[tex]\text{Is } \boxed{4k^2+4k+1} \text{ odd?}[/tex]

Yes, it is, because [tex]4k^2 \text{ and } 4k \text{ will always be even considering } k \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]

An even number plus one is an odd number.

A triangle has side lengths of (8.1t-6.1)(8.1t−6.1) centimeters, (8.1t+7.1)(8.1t+7.1) centimeters, and (3.4u+1.9)(3.4u+1.9) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

(16.2t+3.4u+2.9)cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a plane shape that has three sides. The perimeter of a triangle is gotten by taking the sum of all the lengths of the three sides. Let the length of the three sides by s1, s2 and s3, the perimeter of the triangle will be expressed as;

P = s1+s2+s3

Given the side lengths

s1 = (8.1t-6.1)cm

s2 = (8.1t+7.1)cm

s3 = (3.4u+1.9)cm

Perimeter of the triangle = 8.1t-6.1+8.1t+7.1+3.4u+1.9

collect the like terms

P = 8.1t+8.1t+3.4u-6.1+7.1+1.9

P = 16.2t+3.4u+2.9

Hence the expression that represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle is  (16.2t+3.4u+2.9)cm

Prove that a positive integer $n \geq 2$ is prime if and only if there is no positive integer greater than $1$ and less than or equal to $\sqrt{n}$ that divides $n$

Answers

Answer:

Proof given by contradiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]n \geq 2[/tex]

To prove:

[tex]n[/tex] is prime if and only if no positive integer > 1 and [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\sqrt n[/tex] divides [tex]n[/tex].

Solution:

First of all, let [tex]n[/tex] is a composite number i.e. not a prime number such that:

[tex]n =a\times b[/tex]

and [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are prime and [tex]a[/tex] divides [tex]n[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] also divides [tex]n[/tex].

Let [tex]\sqrt n = p[/tex]

or [tex]n = p\times p[/tex]

1. [tex]\underline{a < p}[/tex]:

[tex]a[/tex] is prime and is a divisor of [tex]n[/tex].

2. [tex]\underline{a>p}[/tex]:

[tex]n = a\times b = p\times p[/tex]

We have assumed that [tex]a > p \Rightarrow b <p[/tex]

[tex]b[/tex] is a prime number and is a divisor of [tex]n[/tex].

But we are given that no prime number [tex]\leq \sqrt n[/tex] divides [tex]n[/tex] but we have proved that [tex]b < \sqrt n[/tex] divides [tex]n[/tex].

So, it is a contradiction to our assumption.

Therefore, our assumption is wrong that  [tex]n[/tex] is a composite number.

Hence, proved that [tex]n[/tex] is a prime number.

For the given word problem, identify the rate of change. Gasoline at a particular gas station costs $2.78 per gallon. If Cory buys $18 of gas, how many gallons did he buy? A. 1 B. $18 C. g D. $2.78

Answers

Answer:

Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of gas per gallon = $2.78

it means that if one buy 1 gallon he will have to pay $2.78 and similary for each increase in 1 gallon of gallon gas he will have to pay $2.78.

Thus, rate of change is cost of gas per gallon as cost to buy gas changes with the change in quantity of gallon.

Let the quantity of gas bought be x gallon.

Total cost for x gallons = cost of gas per gallon*x = 2.78x

Given that total money paid by him is $18

2.78x = 18

x = 18/2.78 = 6.47

Thus, Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

Commutative Property of Multiplication C. Associative Property of Addition D. Associative Property of Multiplication

Answers

Answer:

A. Commutative Property of Addition D. Associative Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

The commutative property lets you swap the order of operands. Here, the operands for addition, (8uv) and (9w), are interchanged. The Commutative Property of Addition lets you do that.

__

The associative property lets you group operands differently. Here, the operands in the product 8uv are changed from the grouping (8u)v to the grouping 8(uv). The Associative Property of Multiplication lets you do that.

Answers:

A. Commutative Property of Addition &D. Associative Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Now let's see why these are the correct answers:

___________________________________________________________

Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the addends will not affect the sum. For example 5 + 4 and 4 + 5 are both 9.

Here, this is a correct answer because 9w is moved from the end of the equation to the front.

___________________________________________________________

Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of multiplicands does not change the product. For example 5 x 2 and 2 x 5 both equal 10.

Here, this is not a correct answer because the multiplicands are associated differently in the parentheses.

___________________________________________________________

Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which addends are grouped within parentheses doesn't change the sum. For example (2 + 3) + 4 or 2 + (3 + 4) both equal 9.

Here, this is not a correct answer because the addends are not in parentheses, which is the only time this property applies.

___________________________________________________________

Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which multiplicands are grouped within parentheses does not affect the product. For example 2 x (2 x 2) and (2 x 2) x 2 both equal 8.

Here, this is a correct answer because the multiplicands are within parentheses and are regrouped in the second equation, the (8u)v having been regrouped as 8(uv).

How to do this question plz answer my question ​

Answers

Answer:

$121.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this is kind of complex, so let's go step by step.

First, we want to find the area of the rectangular lawn - we can do this by multiplying the length and width. The length is 100 and the width is 45 so [tex]45\cdot100=4500[/tex] m² is the area of the rectangle.

However, there are 3 ponds in which the grass seeds will not be going - so we need to find the area of all 3 of these circles and subtract it from 4500 (our rectangle area).

The area of a circle is represented by the formula [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

The diameters are given here, which is double the radius, so to find the radius of each circle let's divide the diameters by 2.

First circle's radius: [tex]20\div2=10[/tex]

Second circle's radius: [tex]10\div2=5[/tex]

Third circle's radius: [tex]5\div2=2.5[/tex]

Now let's find the area of each circle.

First Circle: [tex]\pi \cdot10^2 = \pi\cdot100=3.14\cdot100=314[/tex]

Second Circle: [tex]\pi\cdot5^2 = \pi \cdot25 = 3.14\cdot25=78.5[/tex]

Third Circle: [tex]\pi \cdot 2.5^2 = \pi \cdot6.25 = 3.14\cdot6.25=19.625[/tex]

Adding all of these values gets us 412.125.

Now we can subtract from this from 4500 to get us 4087.875

If the grass seeds that cost £1.49 cover 50m² each, then we need [tex]4087.875\div50=81.7575[/tex] bags.

Each bag costs £1.49, so the total cost is [tex]81.7575\cdot1.49\approx121.82[/tex]
