If q^2-1 is divisible by 8 if q is _

if q is odd

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Either q is odd or is even.

Case 1 - we can find k integer so that q = 2k

Then, in the case

This is not divisible by 8, for instance, q = 6

Case 2 - we can find k integer so that q = 2k+1

k(k+1) is divisible by 2 so the initial number is divisible by 8

Conclusion, the answer is q is odd.

y/x=18

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
