Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'
Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.
R could be anything. But when you multiply it with 6 it should give you a result of a number less than 3.
Example: if r=0.1, 0.1x6=0.6 which is less than or equal to 3.
The greatest number r can be is 1/2
Answer:
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
it says that y is the inverse of x so if x=3 and y=8, so if x=8 than y must equal 3
Answer:
5 and 5 is the lowest answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on what I'm assuming from that cryptic question, I assume you are looking for two numbers that add up to 10, but have the smallest sum when they are squared and added.
So I would start with 5 and 5, because they have the best chance.
If you do anything like 3 + 7,
You will get an answer of 49 + 9, which is rather high.
2 and 8 gives you 4 + 64, which is worse.
4 and 6 gives you 16 and 36, which add to 52, which is better.
5 and 5 gives you 25 and 25, which is 50, the best choice.
A (3,4)
B(-3,2)
C(-2,-4)
D(6,-3)
