Let's start by analyzing the given condition \( 1 - n2 > 0 \). 1. We can rewrite the inequality as \( 1 > n2 \) or \( n2 < 1 \). This implies that \( n \) must be such that \( n2 \) can only take certain integer values because \( n \) is an integer. In fact, the only integer values satisfying this condition are \( n = 0 \) or \( n = -1 \) (since if \( n = 1 \) or \( n \geq 2\), \( n2 \) would be at least 2 which violates the condition). 2. Next, we analyze the expression \( 3n - 2 \) for each of our potential values of \( n \). - If \( n = 0 \): \[ 3n - 2 = 3(0) - 2 = -2 \,\, (\text{even}) \] - If \( n = -1 \): \[ 3n - 2 = 3(-1) - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5 \,\, (\text{odd}) \] However, since only \( n = 0 \) satisfies the condition, it is important to recognize that both values satisfy the integer form of the expression but must also yield the condition of being even. Thus, we conclude that if \( n \) satisfies the condition \( 1 - n2 > 0 \), the expression \( 3n - 2 \) only results in values that can be deemed even. Hence, the proof holds that \( 3n - 2 \) is indeed an even integer when \( n = 0 \) which satisfies our starting assumption. All steps lead us through the integers produced by \( n \) under the original condition ensuring \( 3n - 2 \) has even outcomes by virtue of its derivation from integer forms. Therefore, if \( 1 - n2 > 0 \), then \( 3n - 2 \) is an even integer, thus proving our assertion!
