Hence, nT is odd for all even n. For an odd value of n, 2( 1)n+ is even and 3n + 2 is odd. Hence, nT is odd for all odd n.

Since p cannot be negative, two consecutive terms of the sequence cannot have a difference of 4. B1 Alternatively: Since 0p , 20p then 2 6 6 4p+ . Thus, the difference is greater than 6, which cannot be 4. B1 [9]
