The sum of two numbers is odd. Can the quotient of the two numbers be an odd number?

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that here we have the statement:

If the sum of two numbers is odd> can their quotient be an odd number?

first, for n an integer number, we have that:

an odd number can be written as 2n + 1

an even number can be written as 2n.

The sum of two numbers is only odd if one of them is odd and the other even.

Then we have a number that is 2n and other that is 2k + 1, for n and k integer numbers.

Now, let's see if the quotient can also be an odd number.

One way to think this is:

There is an odd number such that when we multiply it by another odd number, the result is an even number?

no, and i can prove it as:

let 2k + 1 be an odd number, and 2j + 1 other.

the product is:

(2k + 1)*(2j + 1) = 2*(2*k*j + k + j) + 1

and as k and j are integers, also does 2*k*j + k + j, so:

2*(2*k*j + k + j) + 1 is an odd number.

This says that the product of two odd numbers is always odd, then we never can have that the quotient between an even number and an odd number is odd.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
