Answer:

186 and 187

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the first integer.

Then n+1 is the next integer.

We are given their sum is 373.

n+(n+1)=373

Combine like terms:

2n+1=373

Subtract 1 on both sides:

2n=372

Divide both sides by 2:

n=186

So n+1=187.

187

+186

--------

373

How is the Recursive Formula used in real life

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

People often sort stacks of documents using a recursive method. For example, imagine you are sorting 100 documents with names on them. First place documents into piles by the first letter, then sort each pile. Looking up words in the dictionary is often performed by a binary-search-like technique, which is recursive.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just an example.

A rectangular prism had a volume of 252 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 14 centimeters and the width of the prism

mojhsa [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. Prism are called after the name of their base. A rectangular prism is a solid whose base is a rectangle. Multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

$V=L\times W\times H$

FOR THE ORIGINAL PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

$L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=3cm$

In fact, the volume is $252cm^3$ because:

$V=14\times 6\times 3 \therefore V=252cm^3$

Now the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism, therefore:

FOR THE NEW PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

$L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=6cm$

So the new volume is:

$V=14\times 6\times 6 \therefore V=504cm^3$

<h3><em>What do we know about the volume of the new prism?</em></h3>

<em>Well, the volume has increased from </em> $252cm^3 \ to \ 504cm^3$ <em>and since</em> $504=2\times 252$ <em>we can say that the new volume is two times the original volume.</em>
