The first odd number = 15

The second is then = 17

<h3>The Consecutive numbers are:</h3>

Consecutive numbers are those that appear consecutively after one another in the range of smallest to largest. An illustration would be the sequence of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.

<h3>Where can I find consecutive numbers?</h3>

Let x be the first of the following numbers to represent it algebraically. Following that, the numbers x + 1, x + 2, and x + 3 would be arranged in order. You must make sure that your first selection is an even number if the question requires consecutive even numbers.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

We can employ the expression "2n," where n is any integer, to ensure that the result is even. By using the expression "2n + 1," we can ensure an odd number.

"2n + 3" will be the following odd number:

(2n + 1)(2n + 3) is the component of the odd integers, and it equals 255:

(2n + 1)(2n + 3) = 255

4n2 + 8n + 3 = 255

4n2 + 8n - 252 = 0

n2 + 2n - 63 = 0

(n + 9)(n -7) = 0

n = -9 and n = 7

We can disregard n = -9 because we are informed that the figures must be positive.

If n = 7,

The first odd number = 2(7) + 1 = 15

The second is then 17

A circle with circumference 6 has an arc with a 20 central angle,<br> What is the length of the arc?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

0.3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the length of the arc to the circumference of the circle is proportional to the ratio of the central angle to the sum of angle in a circle.

\frac{l}{6}=\frac{20}{360}

This implies that:

l=\frac{20}{360}*6

This simplifies to: l=\frac{20}{60}

l=\frac{1}{3}=0.3 units

yan [13]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following equation of a parabola, given in the problem above:

 x<span>=1/16y^2

 2. Then, based on the graph attached, you have:

 p=y^2/4x
 p=8^2/(4)(4)
 p=64/16
 p=4

 3. The directrix is:

 directrix=h-p
 directrix=0-4
 directrix=-4

The table below represents a function. Which of the following equations could be its function rule?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

y=2x-2 is the required equation.

Therefore, the second option is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation of a linear function is given by

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Taking two points (0, -2) and (1, 0) from the table to determine the slope using the formula

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:0\right)

m=\frac{0-\left(-2\right)}{1-0}

m=2

substituting the point (0, -2) and the slope m=2 in the slope-intercept form to determine the y-intercept i.e. 'b'.

y=mx+b

-2 = 2(0)+b

-2=0+b

b=-2

Now, substituting the values of m=2 and b=-2 in the slope-intercept form to determine the equation of a linear function

y=mx+b

y=2x+(-2)

y=2x-2

Thus, y=2x-2 is the required equation.

Therefore, the second option is true.
