Prove that if xa n dy are odd positive i...

Prove that if `xa n dy` are odd positive integers, then `x^2+y^2` is even but not divisible by 4.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that any odd positive integer is of the form `2q+1 `for some integer q.
So, let `x=2m+1 and y=2n+1` for some integer `m` and `n.`
`\therefore x^2+y^2=(2m+1)^2+(2n+1)^2`
