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

X equals 1 and 2. When you put 1 into f(x) you get 2 and when you put 1 into g(x) you get 1 as well. The same for 2...but not the same for 3.

On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapid
Elza [17]

Answer:

L(t)=7600e^{0.2273t}

Step-by-step explanation:

-The locust population grows by a factor and can therefore be modeled by an exponential function of the form:

P=P_oe^{rt}

Where:

  • P is the population after t days.
  • P_o is the initial population given as 7600
  • r is the rate of growth
  • t is time in days

-Given that the growth is by a factor of 5( equivalent to 500%), the r value will be 5

-The population increases by a factor of 5 every 22 days. therefore at any time instance, t will be divided by 22 to get the effective time for calculations.

Hence, the exponential growth function will be expressed as:

P=P_oe^{rt},\ \ \ P=L(t)\\\\\therefore L(t)=7600e^{5\frac{t}{22}}\\\\=7600e^{0.2273t}

Write an equation for a line parallel to y=3x-3 and passing through the point (4,15)
Andrews [41]

Hello!

To find the equation of a line parallel to y = 3x - 3 and passing through the point (4, 15), we need to know that if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equivalent.

This means that we create a new equation in slope-intercept form, which includes the original slope, which is equal to 3.

In slope-intercept form, we need a y-intercept. So, we would substitute the given ordered pair into the new equation with the same slope and solve.

Remember that slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = 3x + b (substitute the ordered pair (4, 15))

15 = 3(4) + b (simplify)

15 = 12 + b (subtract 12 from both sides)

3 = b

Therefore, the equation for the line parallel to the line y = 3x - 3, and passing through the point (4, 15) is y = 3x + 3.
