Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2,3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row, so x and x+1

x(x+1) = 6

Distribute

x^2 +x = 6

Subtract 6 from each side

x^2 +x - 6 =0

Factor

(x+3) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=-3, x=2

We only want positive integers

x=2

x+1 =3

How do u multiply exponents

So, by multiplying the exponents, you would add all of the square roots together. For example for your question you would add 1+1+4+5=11 so the answer is c to the power of 11

How would I do this?
Lelu [443]
I'm not sure about part B, but part A will have the answer "if Ron eats lunch today, then he will drink a glass of milk" (without quotes of course)

The idea is that we have these arguments in symbolic form
P = Ron eats lunch today
Q = Ron eats a sandwich
R = Ron will drink a glass of milk

The format is 
"If P then Q" ----> "if Q then R"  so therefore "If P then R"

We see that P leads to Q, then Q leads to R. So overall P leads to R. We connect them as a chain of sorts. We can skip over Q since we know the first point will lead to the last. Think of it as a shortcut of sorts.

sdas [7]

Answer:

confidence interval:

This tells us the degree of certainty or uncertainty that is existent in a sampling method. It gives us a range of values, telling us we are fairly sure that our true value or parameter lies within the range.

Degree of confidence:

This tells us that the confidence interval has captured the true/exact population parameter.

If we have 95% degree of confidence, we are 95% sure that that the exact/true parameter are in the confidence interval
