Samantha makes a conjecture that the product of two odd integers is always an odd integer. Which choice is the best proof of her conjecture? CLEAR CHECK Look at these different examples: 7 × 3 = 21, 5 × 9 = 45, 11 × 3 = 33. So the product of two odd numbers must be odd. Every time you multiply two odd numbers, the product is an odd number. Let (2a + 1) be an odd number. Let (2b + 1) be another odd number. The product 2(2ab + a + b) + 1 is a multiple of 2 plus 1, which is an odd number. Let a and b both represent odd numbers, and let a × b be an odd number. Therefore, a × b = b × a, which shows that the product of two odd numbers is odd.
