Expert Solution
Step 1

Suppose x and y are odd integers.

To show x+5y2 is even.

Note:

  1. Square of an odd number is odd.
  2. Product of two odd numbers is odd.
  3. Sum of two odd numbers is even.

Now since y is odd, it follows that y2 is odd.

Further 5 is odd and y2 is odd. Hence, it follows that 5y2 is odd.

Now x is odd and 5y2 is odd. Hence, it follows that x+5y2 is odd.
