Answer:

151

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the smaller integer and y = the larger integer.

We have two conditions:

(1)   x + 1 = y

(2)       y =  2x - 149      Substitute (1) into (2)

    x + 1 = 2x - 149        Add 150 to each side

x + 150 = 2x                 Subtract x from each side

        x = 150                Substitute into (1)

150 +1 = y

       y = 151

The larger integer is 151.

<em>Check: </em>

(1) 150 + 1 = 151

          151 = 151

(2)       151 = 2×150 -149

          151 = 300 -149

          151 = 151

A student factors a6 - 64 to (a2 - 4)(a4 + 4a2 + 16).Which statement about (a2 − 4)(a4 + 4a2 + 16) is correct?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The expression is equivalent, but the   term is not completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  a student factors  to

We have to choose the correct statement  about   from the given options.

Given   is factored to

Consider    

Using algebraic identity,

comparing  and b = 4, we have,

Thus, the factorization is equivalent but we can simplify it further also, as

Using algebraic identity,

Thus,

Can be written as

Thus, the expression is equivalent, but the   term is not completely factored.

Option (b) is correct.

The mapping diagram shows a function S(x).<br><br> Which mapping diagram shows the inverse of S(x)?
Nutka1998 [239]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Explanation:

Notice how the input 5 leads to the output 3 when we look at the S(x) function. The inverse will undo this. So that must mean the answer is choice A where we have the input 3 lead to the output 5. In short, the inputs and outputs swap places. This means the domain and ranges swap.
