The sum of two consecutive negative integers is -171. What is the number closest to zero?

1 answer:

6 0

Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4

so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86

Yuliya22 [10]

well if you can find the slope then choose one of your ordered pair and plug them in tot he corresponding variable. since you don't know what the y intercept you basically find x which will be the y int.

If a cylindrical tank holds 100,00 gallons of water which can be drained from thebottom of the tank in an hour, then Torricelli’

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

First, I think the right formula is:

$V(t) = 100,000(1-\frac{t}{60} ),20\leq t\leq 60$

A) We first derive the formula given above:

$V'(t)=-\frac{100000}{60}$

V'(t) represent the drain rate of the tank volume.

B) the units is: gallons/time

C) at V'(10) = 100000/60 = 1666.66 gallons/time.

because the formula V'(t) is constant so it doesn't depend of time.
