If x and y are two odd numbers, then specify (x2+y2). ​

Answer»

Since, we have to show that x2+y2 is an even INTEGER.

As x2+y2 is of the form 2k, this MEANS that it is DIVISIBLE by 2 and HENCE it is even.

So, x2+y2 is not divisible by 4.

Hence, it is proved that if, x and y are odd positive integers, then x2+y2 is even but not divisible by 4.
