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.

If the customer rolls the dice and rents a second movie every Thursday for 20 consecutive weeks, what is the total amount that t
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The expected amount for a duration of 20 weeks is $9.4

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Read attachment to understand the complete question

From the question, we have the following given parameters:

x = Amount paid for a second movie

E(x) = 0.47 --- Expected value of x

SD(x) = 0.15 --- Standard deviation of x

Required

Determine the total amount paid for a second movie for 20 weeks

The required implies that we calculate the expected value for a duration of 20 weeks.

i.e.

n = 20

If

E(x) = 0.47

Then:

E(nx) = n * E(x)

Substitute 20 for n

E(20x) = 20 * E(x)

Substitute 0.47 for E(x)

E(20x) = 20 * 0.47

E(20x) = 9.4

<em>Hence, the expected amount for a duration of 20 weeks is $9.4</em>

2. Each of the following lines has a slope that can be determined by examining the graph. Use another point
Natali [406]

The slope, y-intercept and the equation of the following graph are as follows:

1(a)

slope : 1

y-intercept: 2

Equation: y = x + 2

(b)

slope : -  1 / 3

y-intercept: - 1

Equation: y = - 1 / 3x - 1

2.

(a)

slope : 3 / 4

y-intercept: 5 / 4

Equation: y = 3 / 4 x + 5 / 4

(b)

slope : - 3 / 2

y-intercept: 1 / 2

Equation: y = - 3 / 2 x + 1 / 2  

<h3 />

<h3>Slope intercept equation</h3>
  • y = mx + b

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Therefore lets find the slope, y-intercept and equation of the following graph.

1.

(a)

(0, 2)(1, 3)

m = 3 - 2 / 1 - 0 = 1

b = 2

y = x + 2

(b)

(0, -1)(-3, 0)

m = 0 + 1 / -3 - 0 = - 1 / 3

b = -1

y = - 1 / 3x - 1

2.

(a)

(1, 2)(-3, -1)

m = -1 - 2 / -3 - 1 = 3 / 4

2 = 3 / 4 (1) + b

b = 2 - 3 / 4  = 5 / 4

y = 3 / 4 x + 5 / 4

3.

(b)

(-3, 5)(1, -1)

m = - 1 - 5 / 1 + 3 = - 6 / 4 = - 3 / 2

-1 = - 3 /2 (1) + b

b = -1 + 3 / 2 = 1 /2

y = - 3 / 2 x + 1 / 2

The Corner Cafe recently served 16 pastries, including 2 bran muffins. What is the experimental probability that the next pastry
Zolol [24]

Answer:

P = 2/16 This is based on 14/16 chance that the next pastry will be something else.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can also expand and say P= 2/16 = 1/8

Not P= 7/8

Crank
When working with percents, don't divide them, because it will give you the wrong answer. So you must find the equivalent of the percent you're working with in decimal form, then multiply it by your number.
So, you would do 550 X .24 which equals 132 customers.
