The integer =z( -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4). Now positive integer is 1,2,3,4........the question is , X2 – X where X is a positive integer ,always divisible by 2 . If we put 1,2,3 in place of X we find 12 -1 =0 ,22 – 2 =2 , 32 -3 = 6 .so we can say “ X will be 2,3,4,5,……..(X...

We prove this by mathematical induction method If x=1 we get x2-x=0 Statement is true for x=1 Assume that statement is true for x=n, i.e., n2-n=2p for some p. Now consider, x=n+1 (n+1)2-(n+1)=n2+1+2n-n-1=n2+n= 2p+n+n=2p+2=(2p+1) Statement is true for x=n+1 Therefore statement is true for x is a any positive...

We prove this by mathematical induction method

If x=1 we get x2-x=0

Statement is true for x=1

Assume that statement is true for x=n, i.e., n2-n=2p for some p.

Now consider, x=n+1

(n+1)2-(n+1)=n2+1+2n-n-1=n2+n= 2p+n+n=2p+2=(2p+1)

Statement is true for x=n+1

Therefore statement is true for x is a any positive integers
