Hey there !!!!
Every positive integer cannot be of the form 4q+2 because
If
1)q=0
n=2
2)q=1
n=4*1+2=6
3) q=2
n=4*2+2=10
We can notice that numbers which are even and are not divisible by 4 can
be written of the form 4q+2.
So, we can conclude that numbers which are not divisible by 4 ( we need to write a number in form 4q+2 and when we divide number with 4 we get remainder as 2) and numbers which are not odd ( as odd numbers are of the form 4q+1) can be written of the form 4q+2.
