find two positive even consecutive integers such that a square of the smaller integer is 10 more than the larger integer

Mathematics

Answer:

the two positive consecutive integers are 4 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller integer be s; then s^2 = (s + 2) + 10.

Simplifying, s^2 - s - 2 - 10 = 0, or

s^2 - s - 12 = 0.

Solve this by factoring:  (s - 4)(s + 3) = 0.

Then s = 4 and s = -3.

If the first even integer is 4, the next is 6.  We omit s = -3 because it's not even.

The smaller integer is 4.  Does this satisfy the equation s^2 = (s + 2) + 10?

4^2 = (4 + 2) + 10  True or False?

16 = 6 + 10 = 16.

True.

So the two positive consecutive integers are 4 and 6.

Order 0.5, -1/7, -0.2, and 1/3 from least to greatest.
sladkih [1.3K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's convert the decimals to fraction form.

0.5=5/10=1/2

-1/7

-0.2= -2/10= -1/5

1/3

We know that the bigger the number in the denominator, the smaller the fraction is if the numerators are all the same.

First off, we have the negative numbers which are smaller than the other numbers. We have -1/7 and -1/5. We know that the 1/5 is a bigger fraction, but it is negatively bigger, so that is going to be the lesser number.

-1/5, -1/7

And with our bigger ones, we have 1/3 and 1/2. 1/2 is the bigger number here, so that will be the last one. Let's also be sure to convert back to our original forms! Here is our order :

-0.2, -1/7, 1/3, 0.5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
