If f: Z → Z is given by f(n) = (n² + n)/2, which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a function because n(n + 1) is always even

A function from Z to Z must assign exactly one integer output to every integer input. The expression can be written as f(n) = n(n + 1)/2. Among any two consecutive integers n and n + 1, one is even, so their product is divisible by 2. Consequently, n(n + 1)/2 is an integer for every n in Z, including negative integers and zero. The rule is therefore defined for every domain element and its value lies in the stated codomain, so it is a valid function. Option B gives this reason. A fraction symbol does not automatically mean a non-integer result; for n = 1 the value is 1. Also, f(0) = 0 is perfectly allowed, and there is no restriction to positive inputs.
