Four times the greater of two consecutive integers is 18 more than three times the lesser integer. What are the integers?
maw [93]
This is how I would solve it:

1st # = x                 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1              4x+4=3x+18
                                     4x=3x+14
                                       x=14

To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18.       <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>

Let f(x)=x^2+5x-8. What is the average rate of change from x = 2 to x = 6? Enter the answer in the box ___
koban [17]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [2, 6 ]

f(b) = f(6) = 6² + 5(6) - 8 = 36 + 30 - 8 = 58

f(a) = f(2) = 2² + 5(2) - 8 = 4 + 10 - 8 = 6

Hence

average rate of change = \frac{58-6}{6-2} = \frac{52}{4} = 13

The digit in the tens place of a two digit number is three times that in the units place. If the digits are reversed the new num
S_A_V [24]
We could do it with algebra.  But we can also do it the long way, which is
shorter than the algebraic way.

The digit in the tens place is 3 times the digit in the units place.
So the number MUST be
31, or
62, or
93 .
It can't be anything else.

Now here they are again, with the reverse of each one:

31 . . . 13      The new number is  18 less.
62 . . . 26      The new number is  36 less.
93 . . . 39      The new number is  54 less.

Obviously, the original number is 62.
