Answer:

x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways this problem could be solved. The easiest route is to note that the first part of the question says "2 consecutive numbers". If the numbers are next to each other on a number line (consecutive) and x is the smaller number, the larger number is x + 1.

To check, let's find the two numbers. We know the numbers are next to each other on a number line and that together, they equal 37. Let's begin with 15 and 16.

15 + 16 = 31

These numbers are too low, as they should add to 37. Let's try 18 and 19.

18 + 19 = 37

There are the two correct numbers. If x = the smaller number, x = 18.

18 + 1 = 19

Since this is correct, we know for sure that the answer is x + 1.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Step 1:
Find number of gallons in one week
Total oz ÷ oz per gallon= gallons
=2944/128
= 23 gallons in one week

Step 2:
Multiply gallons made in one week by two.
=23 gallons per week * 2
=46 gallons made in 2 weeks

Find the area lying above the x-axis and below the parabolic curve y = 4x -x2 A. 8 B. 16 C. 10 2/3 D. 8 1/3

dimaraw [331]

To find the area between the x-axis and the parabolic curve, take the integral of the area in which the curve is above the x-axis.
function of the graph is
y = 4x - x²
We can tell by the function (specifically -x²) that the parabola will point downward.
To find the domain in which y>0, let's find the roots (0's) of the function:
0 = 4x - x²
0 = x (4 - x)
x = 0 or x = 4
Between x=0 and x=4, the curve is above the x-axis. To find the area of the graph, let's take the integral on this range:

First, take the antiderivative of 4x - x²:
2x² - (1/3) x³
Then, plug x=4 into the anti-derivative, and subtract the anti-derivative at x=0:
2(4)² - (1/3)(4³) - (0 - 0)
32 - 64/3
96/3 - 64/3 = 32/3

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem we have that

The graph crosses the x axis at negative 10 and crosses the y axis at negative 2.

therefore

The x-intercept is the point (-10,0) and the y-intercept is the point (0,-2)
