9x + 9

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

WHat do you need to know? what x is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know if there is some special way of doing it. I would just try values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i figured it was B because x is 2 i believe but than i looked at C for it being both did u see the link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I saw the link.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's try some values. \[f(0) = 9(0) + 9 = 9\]\[f(1) = 9(1) + 9 = 18\]\[f(2) = 9(2) + 9 = 27\]\[f(3) = 9(3) + 9 = 36\] So what are you noticing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a pattern 1,2,3 and 9,18,27,36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. So what can you say about what values of x result in an odd number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 is a odd number but does have a factor of 3 so would it make it odd so would the answer be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it B? Let's check it. 3 is an odd number. \[9(3) + 9 = 36\]36 is even. B is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh tht is true 36 is even so nt B oh so its D because is even

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x|x= even

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is even. Let's try it \[9(4) + 9 = 45\]And that is odd, as expected. In general, it's \(9(x+1)\), which will be odd when x is even. So yes.
