Answer:

12 and 10   and

-12 and - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Larger number = x

Smaller number = x - 2

Equation

x*(x - 2) = 120

Solution

Remove the brackets

x^2 - 2x = 120    

Subtract 120 from both sides

x^2 - 2x - 120 = 0  Factor

(x - 12)(x + 10) = 0

x - 12 = 0

x - 12 + 12 = 12

the other number is 2 less than this one or x = 10

=================

x + 10 = 0

x = - 10

The number that is 2 less than this one is

x = -10 -2

x = -12

The answer is A.
We can first eliminate D since it uses these (<, >) signs and the lines are shaded, indicating the points on those lines are solutions.
We can also eliminate C because the y intercept in C’s lines is 2, while in the graph, they are both 3.
Finally, we can look at both inequalities on the graph and see that the shaded areas are both underneath the line. This means that y is less than the equation for the line, eliminating B
So, the answer is A
Hope this made sense!!

Find the length of each arc. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. r = 40 =24use 3.14 for π
liraira [26]

Answer:

1.7 units

Explanation:

The length of an arc is calculated using the formula below:

l=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times2\pi r

Substitute the given values of θ and r:

\begin{gathered} l=\frac{24\degree}{360\degree}\times2\times3.14\times4 \\ =1.674 \\ \approx1.7\text{ units (to the nearest tenth)} \end{gathered}

The length of the arc is 1.7 units.
