Answer: The two integers are 8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation: Let n represent the number.

n^2 + (n + 1)^2 = 145

By foiling, this can be rearranged to:

n^2 + n^2 + 2n + 1 = 145

Subtract 145 from both sides:

2n^2 + 2n - 144 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

n^2 + n - 72 = 0

Factor the polynomial:

(n + 9)(n - 8) = 0

Solve for n:

n = -9, n = 8

Since they need to be consecutive, make the 9 positive. It will be positive either way because it is being squared.

Now, n = 9 and n = 8.

These are your two integers. Hope this helps!

Compare the graphs of the inverse variations. y=1/x and y=2.5/x

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The graph of

$y = \frac{2.5}{x}$

us a vertical stretch of the graph of

$y = \frac{1}{x}$

by a factor of 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

$y = \frac{1}{x}$

and

$y = \frac{2.5}{x}$

The graph of

$y = \frac{1}{x}$

is the parent rational function.

The graph of

$y = \frac{2.5}{x}$

is a vertical stretch of the parent rational function by a factor of 2.5

Solve 20x + 12 > 14x + 30

astraxan [27]

Answer:

B. x>3

Step-by-step explanation:

20x + 12 > 14x + 30 import like terms to the same side of the equation

20x - 14x > 30 - 12

6x > 18 divide both sides by 6

x > 3

Determine the value of <br> y if x is 11<br> Y=|x-5|

Degger [83]

The answer is 6.

Absolute value works like this:

If you have just a number inside the bars, then it's positive. If the negative sign is inside the bars, it's still positive. If the negative sign is outside the bars, regardless of what's inside the bars, then it's negative.

Basically, you are adding, because absolute values are positive, unless you have a minus sign outside the absolute value, so 6+5=11.

What you do is this:

y = |x - 5|

y = x + 5

y = 11 + 5

y = 6
