Find two consecutive positive integers such the sum of their squares is 145

Mathematics
1 answer:
White raven [17]3 years ago

Answer:

8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let these two consecutive positive numbers  be  x  and x + 1

so...   x^2 + (x + 1)^2 = 145

x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 145

2x^2 + 2x + 1 = 145

2x^2 + 2x  = 144

2*(x^2 + x) = 144

(x^2 + x) = 72

x^2 + x - 72 = 0

Use the Diamond method for factoring.

-72 = 9 * -8   and  9 + (-8) = 1

x^2  + x - 72  =  (x - 8)*(x + 9) = 0

so  x = 8  or x = -9,  but   x > 0  so only x = 8

The slope of y= 1/2x-7
Arisa [49]
The slope of y= 1/2x-7 is always positive because since the slope of this equation is “1/2”, 1/2 is always positive.

What is mZDAR in circle A?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

68°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, angle subtended on the circumference of the circle is half angle subtended on the center of the circle.

\therefore m\angle DBR = \frac{1}{2} \times m\angle DAR\\\\\therefore 34\degree = \frac{1}{2} \times m\angle DAR\\\\\therefore 34\degree \times 2= m\angle DAR\\\\\therefore 68\degree = m\angle DAR\\\\\therefore m\angle DAR=68\degree
