Simpson's rule requires that ( n ), the number of subintervals, be even because it approximates the integral of a function by fitting parabolic segments to pairs of points. Each pair of subintervals contributes to a single quadratic polynomial, and having an odd number of intervals would leave one subinterval unpaired, making it impossible to apply the method correctly. This ensures that the integration can be performed accurately over the entire range, maintaining the structure needed for the rule's derivation.
The rule is {x : x = 2*n where n is any integer.}
No even values of n will give give an odd value of n3, so n must be odd.When n is odd, n2 is also odd, so n2+1 must be even. ■
You can't. Simpson's Rule can only be used when N is even. This is because the formula is derived by summing the area under parabolas using three points, or two subintervals.
If n = 9 then 2n must be 18.
To prove this, we need to be able to prove two things:The product of two integers is always even if at least one integer is evenThe product of two integers is never even if neither integer is evenFirst, let's prove that the product of two integers is always even if at least one integer is even:Let's say that n is an even integer, and that k is some integer (even or odd). We want to prove that k*n has to be even. Since even is even, we can think of it as 2m, where m is some integer. In other words, n is equal to (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ...) for however many twos it takes to get there.We can re-write k*n as k*2m. We can factor out a 2 to get:2*k*2m-1.Since we are multiplying an integer quantity by two, this proves that the quantity has to be divisible by 2, which, by definition, means that the number must be even.Now let's prove that the product of two integers is never even if neither integer is even. Let's call the two integers k and n. Since nither k and n are even, they must both be odd.k*n can be re-written as k*n - n + n, which can be factored into (k-1)n + n.Now we know that (k-1)n has to be even, since k-1 is even, and we have proved that a number times an even number is even above.So now we have an even number plus and odd number. We can re-write n as 2m + 1, where m is an integer. Since (k-1)n is even, that quantity can be written as 2p, where p is an integer.To recap so far, this means that we can say that if k and n are both odd:k*n = (k-1)n + n = 2p + 2m + 1.This can be re-written as 2p+m + 1. Since 2p+m is a multiple of two, it must be even, and an even number plus one must be odd, so the product of two odd numbers must be odd.

The rule is {x : x = 2*n where n is any integer.}
Sn = n*(n+1)
No even values of n will give give an odd value of n3, so n must be odd.When n is odd, n2 is also odd, so n2+1 must be even. ■
Simpsons Hit & Run was released back in 2003.
There are two cases here: one where n is even and one where n is odd. Let's consider the case where n is even: If n is even then n2 has to be even (since multiple of an even number must always be even.) In this case, we are subtracting an even number from and even number, the result must be even. This proves than n2 - n is even when n is even. Now let's consider the case where n is odd: If n is odd, then n2 must be odd. This is because an odd number times an odd number is always odd. (You could think if this as an odd number times and even number and then adding an odd number. For example, say that n is odd. n-1 is then even, and n2 = n(n-1) + n. n(n-1) must be even, since it is a multiple of an even number. And even number plus and odd number then has to be odd.) Now we know we have and odd number minus and odd number, which has to be even. So this proves that n2 - n is even when n is odd. Since we have proved that n2 - n is even for both when n is even and when n is odd, and there are no other cases, n2 - n must be even for any natural number n. or Let n be a natural number. Then n can be even or odd. We want to show that n2 - n = 2m where m is any positive nteger (by the def. of even). Case 1: Let n be even. Then n = 2k (def. of even), where k is any positive integer. Then, n2 - n = (2k)2 - (2k) = 2(2k2 - k); let 2k2 - k = m = 2m Therefore, n2 - n is even. Case 2: Let n be odd. Then n = 2k +1 (def. of odd), where k is any positive integer. Then, n2 - n = (2k - 1)2 - (2k - 1) = 4k2 - 4k + 1 - 2k + 1 = 4k2 - 6k + 2 = 2(2k2 - 3k + 1); let 2k2 -3k + 1 = m = 2m Therefore, n2 - n is even. Therefore, for any natural number n, n2 - n is even.
yes
If m, n, and p are three consecutive integers, then one of them must be even. Let's say the even number is m. Since m is even, it is divisible by two, and so can be written as 2*k, where k is some integer. This means that m*n*p = 2*k*n*p. Since we are multiplying the quantity k*n*p by 2, it must be divisible by two, and therefore must be even.

There really is no specific reason. We just capitalize "I" even though similar words such as "you," "he," and "we," are left lowercase.
