Answer: 20 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a little guess and check, we can figure out that the numbers are 6 apart and the difference between their squares is 204.

20^2 = 400\\14^2=196

20^2-14^2 = 204

A trick to doing this is to start with a number that is easily squared like 10 or 20 and see if the difference between their numbers is larger or smaller and change your numbers based on them.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

14 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Let x and y be two numbers where x < y</em></u><em>.</em>

We are given :

y - x = 6

y² - x² = 204

Then

y - x = 6

(y - x)(y + x) = 204

Then

y - x = 6

6 × (y + x) = 204

then

y - x = 6       (Equation 1)

y + x = 34    (Equation 2)

Then

(Equation 1) + (Equation 2) ⇒ 2y = 40 ⇒ y = 20

Now ,we substitute y by 20 in equation 1 :

y - x = 6

⇔ 20 - x = 6

⇔ 20 - 6 = x

⇔ x = 14

Which quadratic relation has a y-intercept of 8?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

y = 0.5 (x^2 -2x + 16) has a y-intercept of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of every y-intercept is zero.  To determine which of the four quadratics given here has a y-intercept of 8, we need only substitute 0 for x in each; if the result is 8, we've found the desired quadratic.

O y = 0.5(x + 2)(x + 4) becomes y = 0.5(2)(4) = 4 (reject this answer)

O y = 0.5 (x - 2)(x + 8) becomes y = 0.5(-2)(8) = -8 (reject)

O y = 0.5(x2 -2x - 16) becomes y = 0.5(-16) = -8 (reject)

<em>O y = 0.5 (x2 -2x + 16) becomes y = 0.5(16) = 8 This is correct; that '8' represents the y-intercept (0, 8).</em>
