Which of the following biconditional statements is true?


The product of two integers is negative if and only if both of its factors are negative.


A whole number is divisible by 4 if and only if it is divisible by 2.


A whole number is even if and only if it is evenly divisible by 2.


A whole number is odd if and only if it is evenly divisible by 2.

Respuesta :

It would have to be the even only if divisible by 2

Answer:

A whole number is even if and only if it is evenly divisible by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  The first statement is false because product of two negative integers is positive.

Ex:

(- 2) × (- 3) = 6

2.  The second statement is false because there are whole numbers which are divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4.

Ex:

6 is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4

3.  The fourth statement is false because if a whole number is divisible by 2, then, by definition, it must be an even number.

Ex:

6 is divisible by 2 and hence it is an even number

4.  The third statement is true because if a whole number is divisible by 2, then, by definition, it must be an even number.

Ex:

6 is divisible by 2 and hence it is an even number
