Answer:

Let the to consecutive odd integers be  2n-1 and 2n+1

their average is

=>\frac{(2n-1) +(2n+1)}{2}

=\frac{4n}{2}

= 2n

The square of the average is (2n)^2 =  4n^2

One less than the square of their average = 4n^2-1-----------------------------(1)

Now the product of the two consecutive odd numbers

(2n-1)( 2n+1) =4n^2 +2n -2n  -1 =  4n^2 -1------------------------------------(2)

From (1) and (2) ,

We can say that  the product of two consecutive odd integers is always one less than the square of their average is true

For consecutive even integers

The product of two consecutive integers

(2n)(2n+2) =  4n^2 + 4n----------------------------(3)

Whereas, the one less than the square of their average is

= \frac{(2n) +(2n +2)}{2} - 1

= \frac{(4n +2)}{2} - 1

=2n +1- 1

= 2n--------------------------------------------(4)

From (3) and  (4) it is clear that  product of two consecutive even integers is  not  one less than the square of their average.

Burka [1]
The answer is x=4. 
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3 
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4

Can someone help me with number 8 please? Thank you.

Answer: -4 \le x \le 5
Note: to write the domain in interval notation, you'd write [-4,5]
if you need the domain in set-builder notation, then you'd write \left\{x|x\in\mathbb{R}, \ -4\le x\le 5\right\}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The domain is the set of possible x input values. Look at the left most point (-4,-1). The x coordinate here is x = -4. This is the smallest x value allowed. The largest x value allowed is x = 5 for similar reasons, but on the other side of the graph.

So that's how I got -4 \le x \le 5 (x is between -4 and 5; inclusive of both endpoints)

Writing [-4,5] for interval notation tells us that we have an interval from -4 to 5 and we include both endpoints. The square brackets mean "include endpoint"

Writing \left\{x|x\in\mathbb{R}, \ -4\le x\le 5\right\} is the set-builder notation way of expressing the domain. The x\in\mathbb{R} portion means "x is a real number"

Answer:

The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

= -6-6/3-(-3)

= -12/3+3

= -12/6

= -2
