Problema Solution
the difference between the squares of two consecutive odd intergers
Answer provided by our tutors
let '2n+1' represent the first odd integer, then '2n+3' represents the second odd consecutive integer
we want to solve for an expression of the difference between their squares:
(2n+3)^2 - (2n+1)^2
4n^2 + 12n + 9 - (4n^2 + 4n + 1)
12n-4n + 9-1
8n+8
4*2n + 4 + 4
4(2n+1) + 4
the difference between two consecutive odd integers can be expressed as '4(2n+1)+4' where '2n+1' represents the odd integer
