Answer» Please check the step by step explanation for complete steps Step-by-step explanation: (2a+1) & (2b+1) because if we add 1 to any even no. it will be odd. x²+y² =>(2a+1)²+(2b+1)² =>(4a²+4a+1)+(4b²+4b+1) =>4(a²+b²+a+b)+2 4 Is not a multiple of 2 it means clearly that 4 is not multiple of x²+y² , so x²+y² is even but not divisible by 4. Hence proved. |
