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!

Write an equation for the line in point slope form through the points (2, −6) and (−1, −8).

igomit [66]

Let point A be $(2, -6)$ and point B $(-1, -8)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-8 - (-6)}{-1 - 2} = \frac{-8 + 6}{-1 -2} = \frac{-2}{-3} = \frac{2}{3}$

Use the point-slope formula and whichever point you want as , in this case I'll use

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\y - (-6) = \frac{2}{3}(x - 2)\\y + 6 = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{3}\\y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{3} - 6\\y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{14}{3}$

I'M OFFERING 20 POINTS-

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Third option is correct. Scale factor 3 ; enlargement.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the figure A'B'C'D' is a dilation of figure ABCD.

We know that after dilation the corresponding sides of image and preimage are in the same proportion.

The image of AD is A'D'.

From the figure it is noticed that the A(-1,2), D(-1,-1), A'(-3,6) and D'(-3,-3).

Distance formula is

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$AD=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+(-1-2)^2}=\sqrt{9}=3$

$A'D'=\sqrt{(-3+3)^2+(-3-6)^2}=\sqrt{81}=9$

Scale factor is constant which represents the relation between image and preimage.

$k=\frac{A'D'}{AD}$

$k=\frac{9}{3}$

$k=3$

Therefore the scale factor is 3.

If k>0 it means enlargement and if k<0 it means reduction. Therefore third option is correct.

I dont know what I'm doing! could you help me

Answer:

c = 24.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we can use the cosine rule

Generally, we have this as:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCos A

12^2 = 14^2 + c^2 - 2(14)Cos 19

144 = 196 + c^2 - 26.5c

c^2 - 26.5c + 196-144 = 0

c^2 - 26.5c + 52 = 0

We can use the quadratic formula here

and that is;

{-(-26.5) ± √(-26.5)^2 -4(1)(52)}/2

(26.5 + 22.23)/2 or (26.5 - 22.23)/2

24.37 or 2.135

By approximation c = 24.34 will be correct
