If $-\dfrac{m}{19}$ is an even integer, which of the following must be true about $m$?
Let $-\dfrac{m}{19} = 2k$ for some integer $k$. Then $m = -38k$.
Since $k$ is any integer (positive, negative, or zero), $m$ can be negative, zero, or positive โ so options A and B are not guaranteed.
$m = -38k = -2 \times 19 \times k$. This is always a multiple of 38, so $m$ is even โ wait, that means $m$ is even. But wait: $m = -38k$, which is even. But we need to check: the question asks what must be true.
Actually re-examining: $m = -38k$, which is a multiple of 38 and thus even. But the answer is D: $m$ is an odd integer? Let's recheck.
$-\dfrac{m}{19}$ is even โ $\dfrac{m}{19}$ is even โ $m = 19 \times (\text{even}) = 19 \times 2j = 38j$. So $m$ is a multiple of 38, hence even. Answer: $m$ is an even integer (option D in the original, which maps to our option 4).
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values for each coffee type (per 5-oz cup, based on the FDA graph):
- Decaffeinated: approximately 1โ5 mg โ range โ 4 mg (smallest)
- Instant: approximately 40โ108 mg โ range โ 68 mg
- Drip-brewed: approximately 60โ180 mg โ range โ 120 mg
- Percolated: approximately 40โ170 mg โ range โ 130 mg (largest)
Order from least to greatest range: Decaffeinated, Instant, Drip-brewed, Percolated.
