Given that,
the two numbers are consecutive
The two numbers are
x and x + 1
Sum of the numbers = 81
x + (x + 1) = 81
x + x + 1 = 81
2x = 81 - 1
2x = 80
x = 80/2
x = 40
Therefore, <em>the two numbers are</em> x = 40 and x + 1 = 41
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.
Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1
also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2
The equation of line is :

<em>Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:</em>

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence is
aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹
In your geometric sequence, a₁ = 4 and a₁₃ = 16 384.

Check:

It checks.
7.9 times -2.3 = -3.43478261
So that would equal A
