Since they are both even, let x and x + 2 be the integers.
x(x + 2) = 48
x² + 2x - 48 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 8) = 0

So, at x = 6 and x = -8.
So you can have 6 and 8 or -8 and -6 as your two integers.

<em>Two consecutive even integers are 2n and 2(n+1), where n = any integer. So, the equation we will use is this:</em>

----------------------------------->        n(n+2)=48        <--------------------------------------

Since the integers are even and are consecutive, we know that if we add two to an even number, the next even number will be its consecutive integer. That is why we multiply n by itself when 2 is added with it. Let's find out what our integers are.

n^{2} +2n = 48........................Here we distributed the n across the parenthesis

n^{2} +2n-48=0......................Subtract 48 from both sides to get it into standard quadratic form

(n+8)*(n-6) = 0........................Here we factored by asking ourselves which two numbers add to equal 2 but multiply to equal -48 ( 8 and -6)

Now we set our parenthesis equal to 0 and find out what our n can equal.

(n+8) = 0
n = -8

(n-6)=0
n=6

Now we found out two possible forms of n. Now if we plug it into our equation, we will notice that for each of the numbers we plug in, we multiply it by itself added to 2. So:

6*(6+2)=48
6*(8)=48

And,

-8*(-8+2)=48
-8*(-6)=48

These equations are both true, so n can equal -8 or -6.

Thank you for the question!! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day! :D

Which statements must be true about the image of ΔMNP after a reflection across Line E G? Select three options. The image will b
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The image will be congruent to ΔMNP.

Line EG will be perpendicular to the line segments connecting the corresponding vertices.

The line segments connecting corresponding vertices will all be parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflected image will be the mirror image of ΔMNP, so it will be congruent.  The lines connecting each vertex to the corresponding vertex will be parallel, and all three lines are perpendicular to EG.

Given:
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

\triangle RST \cong \triangle TUR  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: RSTU is a parallelogram.

By definition of parallelogram, two pairs of opposite sides are congruent in length.

⇒TU \cong RS and TS \cong RU

In triangle RST and  triangle TUR

RS \cong TU  [Side]  

TS \cong RU  [Side]

RT \cong RT   [Common side]

SSS(Side-Side-Side) postulates states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of other triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

then, by SSS postulates we have;

\triangle RST \cong \triangle TUR

T=mv^2/L<br><br> Write an equation that shows the given formula solved for V
Effectus [21]

Answer:

<u>v = √(LT/m)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

  • T = mv²/L

Multiply both sides with L :

  • T × L = mv²/L x L
  • LT = mv²

Divide both sides by m :

  • LT × 1/m = mv² × 1/m
  • LT/m = v²

Take the square root on each side :

  • √v² = √(LT/m)
  • <u>v = √(LT/m)</u>
