Answer:

The first set of consecutive even integers equals (8 , 6)

The second set is ( - 8 and - 6) which also works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

(x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (x)(x + 2) + 52            Remove the brackets on both sides

Solution

x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52        Collect the like terms on the left

2x^2+ 4x+ 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52                  Subtract right side from left

2x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 2x + 4 - 52  =  0          Collect the like terms

x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0                                     Factor

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0

Answer

Try the one you know works.

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

Therefore the two integers are 6 and 8

6^2 + 8^2 = 100

6*8 + 52  = 100

So 6 and 8 is one set of  consecutive even numbers that works.    

========================

What about the other set.

x + 8 = 0

x = - 8

x and x + 2

- 8  and -8 + 2 = - 8, - 6

(- 8 )^2 + (- 6)^2 = 100

(-8)(-6) + 52 = 100

Both sets of consecutive numbers work.

Answer:

6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and x+2 are two even integers.

From question statement,we noticed that

x²+(x+2)² = x(x+2) +52

As (x+2)²= x²+4x+4

x²+x²+4x+4 = x²+2x+52

adding  -x²,-2x and -52 to both sides of above equation,we get

x²+x²+4x+4 -x²-2x-52  = x²+2x+52 -x²-2x-52

add like terms

x²+2x-48 = 0

split the middle term of above equation so that the sum of two terms should be 2 and their product be -48.

x²+8x-6x-48 = 0

make two groups

x(x+8)-6(x+8) = 0

taking (x+8) as common,we get

(x+8)(x-6) = 0

Applying Zero-Product Property to both sides of above equation,we get

x+8 = 0 or x-6 = 0

If x+8 = 0

adding -8 to both sides of above equation,we get

x+8-8 = 0-8

x = -8 which is not possible because -8 is not positive.

If x-6 = 0

adding 6 to both sides of above equation,we get

x-6+6 = 0+6

x = 6

x+2 = 6+2

x+2 = 8

Hence, the two consecutive positive even integers are 6 and 8.

Find the domain of the function f of x equals square root of the quantity twelve x plus twenty four
Orlov [11]
The domain is related to the x-value of the function. In this case, the goal of finding the domain is to make sure that the number under the radical sign is positive. The number that makes the function under the radical sign is -2. Hence this is the minimum number and the domain is from -2 to positive infinity.
