Question

Explain why an odd counting number can always be written in the form 2n+1 for some whole number n

Answer 1

Answer: An odd number can only be expressed in the form of 2n+1 where n is a whole number

Step-by-step explanation: Because by definition, an odd number refers to some number which isn't divisible by 2. That's why 2n can't be an odd number. Only 2n+1 can be an odd integer because when divided by 2, the number leaves a remainder of 1 which satisfies the principle of an odd number.
