n2+n=n(n+1)n^2+n = n(n+1), the product of two consecutive integers — one of any two consecutive integers is always even, so n(n+1)n(n+1) is always even. This part is true for every n∈Nn\in N.

n2−n=n(n−1)n^2-n = n(n-1), also the product of two consecutive integers, so it too is ALWAYS even — never odd. This part is False for every n∈Nn\in N (e.g. n=2n=2: 4−2=24-2=2, even, not odd). …
