Answer:

The solution of y² - 1 = 15  is +4 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y² - 1 = 15

Our solution goes thus;

Make y² the subject of formula

y² = 15 + 1

Add 15 to 1

y² = 16

Take square roots of both sides

√y² = √16

y =  √16

Note that the square root of 16 is either +4 or -4 because +4 * +4 = 16 and -4 * -4 = 16; So, we replace √16 with ±4 which means + or -4

y = ±4

y = +4 and -4

Hence, the solution of y² - 1 = 15  is +4 and -4

Guys what is the definition of consecutive numbers? Anyone know? 20 points for first answer!!
trapecia [35]

They are integers that follow one right after another. For example the set {1,2,3,4,5} represents consecutive numbers. Another example would be {9,10,11,12,13}

In general, if x is some integer, then x+1 is the next integer right after x, and x+2 is right after x+1 and so on. The list is {x, x+1, x+2, x+3, ...} representing any general set of consecutive numbers.
