Students taking May SAT MAY want to try today's Twitter problem I just posted at twitter.com/dmarain
If n is a positive integer, then the expression n(n+3) + (n+3)(n+8) must be divisible by
I. 2
II. 4
III. 8
EXPLAIN!
This is a typical "cases" type but I omitted the usual choices like
(A) I only
etc...
Might be worth some discussion to consider more than the typical student's "plug-in" approach. That's why I added "EXPLAIN! "
There is some rich mathematics to be unearthed here IMO...
Interested in 175 more of these types with answers? Try my new Math Challenge Problem/Quiz Book. Look at top of right sidebar.
