If'u' is an even number how would you represent the next even number
Answers
Answer:
Even and Odd Numbers: A natural number (whole number) is an even number if it is a multiple of two. A natural number (whole number) that is not an even number is an odd number.
General Property:
A value of the form 2n, where n is a counting number (whole number), is an even number.
A value in the form of 2n – 1 where n is a counting number is an odd number.
A value in the form of 2n + 1 where n is a whole number is an odd number.
Note that an odd number is always one less (or one more) than some even number, 2n.
Set-Builder Notation:
The set of even counting numbers is {x : x = 2n where n ∈ N}.
The set of odd counting numbers is {x : x = 2n – 1 where n ∈ N}.
The set of even whole numbers is {x : x = 2n where n ∈ W}.
The set of odd whole numbers is {x : x = 2n + 1 where n ∈ W}.
Roster Notation:
The set of even counting numbers is {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …}.
The set of odd counting numbers is {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, …}.
The set of even whole numbers is {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …}.
The set of odd whole numbers is {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, …}.
Some Other Factor Facts
A counting number that ends in an even digit is an even number.
A counting number that ends in the digit 5 or 0 has 5 as a factor.
A counting number that ends in the digit 0 has 10 as a factor.
A counting number that ends in two zeros has 100 is a factor.
