All integers are either odd or even. Conceptually, an integer is odd if it has a remainder of 1 when dividing by 2. And an integer is even if it has a remainder of 0 when dividing by 2.

But when proving something rigorously, mathematicians use more precise definitions, like these: an integer is odd if it can be written in the form 2k + 1, where k is some integer. An integer is even if it can be written in the form 2k, where k is some integer. For example, 13 is odd because 13 can be written as 2(6) + 1.

With these definitions, use complete sentences to explain why zero is an even number.

honeycrisps have skyrocketed to about $4.50 per pound

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
