Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller integer. Then we have ...

(x +1)² +(x +2)² = 40x +5

2x² +6x +5 = 40x +5

x² -17x = 0 . . . . . subtract (40x+5), divide by 2

x(x -17) = 0 . . . . . factor

The solution of interest is x = 17.

The smaller integer is 17.

Which sequence of transformations produces R’S’T’ from RST?

inn [45]

Answer:

A translation 2 units right and then a reflection over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of ΔRST are R(0, 0), S(-2, 3), and T(-3, 1)

The vertices of triangle ΔR'S'T' are (2, 0), (0, -3), (-1, -1)

The points are plotted with the aid of MS Excel, and by observation, we have that the image of ΔRST is located on the other side of the x-axis with each coordinate on ΔR'S'T' shifted 2 units to the right of ΔRST

A translation of ΔRST 2 units right gives;

(0 + 2, 0) = (2, 0), (-2 + 2, 3) = (0, 3), and (-3 + 2, 1) = (-1, 1), to give;

(2, 0), (0, 3), and (-1, 1)

A reflection of the point (x, y) across the x-axis gives (x, -y)

A reflection of the above points across the x-axis gives;

(2, 0) reflected about x-axis → (2, 0) reflected about x-axis → (0, -3), and (-1, 1) reflected about x-axis → (-1, -1), which are the points of ΔR'S'T'

Therefore, the sequence of transformations that produces R'S'T' from RST are;

A translation 2 units right and then a reflection over the x-axis

15x+1200=y what is the change in the total cost for each book printed? What is the cost to get started before any books are prin

Mrac [35]

The total cost before books are printed is $1200 (the constant).

The change to the total cost is the x, which is a variable, and can change depending on the amount of books printed.

hope this helps
