Answer:

  11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the smaller one is x. Then the difference of their reciprocals is ...

  \dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+2}=\dfrac{(x+2)-(x)}{x(x+2)}=\dfrac{2}{x(x+2)}

This tells us that x will be the smaller of the two factors of 143:

  143 = 11×13

  x = 11

The two numbers are 11 and 13.

Can somebody help me with the Math's questions with Forming and Solving Equations? Thanks
mojhsa [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the square is (x+2)^2 and the factored form of it is x^2+4x+4

since we know the area is = 7 therefore

x^2 + 4x +4 = 7 and x^2 + 4x = 3

if you want to find the value of x :

x^2+4x+4 = 7

x^2+4x -3 = 0

(x-3)(x-1)=0

x = 3 or

x = 1

If 180°<θ<270°, and sin⁡θ=−3/4, what is the value of sin(−θ)?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

sin(-\theta)=\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

180°<θ<270° and sin(\theta)=-\frac{3}{4}

We know for any angle \theta,

sin(-\theta)=-sin(\theta)

∴sin(-\theta)=-(-\frac{3}{4})=\frac{3}{4}
