Answer:

The smallest number is 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even number

x+2 --->the second consecutive even number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is given by

x+(x+2)=178

solve for x

2x=178-2\\2x=176\\x=88

so

x=88\\x+2=88+2=90

therefore

The smallest number is 88

Is a function always a relation
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No, to be a function a relation must fulfill two requirements: existence and unicity.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Existence is a condition that establish that every element of te domain set must be related with some element in the range. Example: if the domain of the function is formed by the elements (1,2,3), and the range is formed by the elements (10,11), the condition is not respected if the element "3" for example, is not linked with 10 or 11 (the two elements of the range set).
  • Unicity is a condition that establish that each element of the domain of a relation must be related with <u>only one</u> element of the range. Following the previous example, if the element "1" of the domain can be linked to both the elements of the range (10,11), the relation is not a function.

A roofer calculates his bid price using the formula P = 1.85s + 4.2f, where s is the area of the roof in square feet and f is th
solmaris [256]

Answer: 1,811 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to solve the equation given, by substituting P = 4,148 and f=190 in the equation.

P = 1.85s + 4.2f

4,148 = 1.85s +4.2 (190)

Solving for s:

4,148 = 1.85s +798

4,148-798 =1.85s

3,350 = 1.85s

3,350/1.85 =s

s = 1,810.81 = 1,811 square foot  (rounded)
