<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2

<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16

<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14

<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12

Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12

Let's make an equation. X will be the smaller number while y is the bigger.
x+2=y; since they're consecutive even numbers. We will use that equation to represent y.
Twice the smaller; 2x
16 more than the larger; 16+x+2
2x=16+x+2; let's add like terms.
2x=18+x
Let's subtract x from both sides.
x=18
If the smaller number is 18, the bigger number is 20.

The two numbers are 18 and 20.

F(x)=x^3 −9x <br> What is the average rate of change of over the interval [1,6]?
Inga [223]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ 1, 6 ], thus

f(b) = f(6) = 6³ - 9(6) = 216 - 54 = 162

f(a) = f(1) = 1³ - 9(1) = 1 - 9 = - 8

average rate of change = \frac{162-(-8)}{6-1} = \frac{170}{5} = 34

A square garden is 50 inches long on each side.What is the length of the perimeter in feet?
leva [86]

Answer:

50/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has 4 equal sides, so the perimeter is 4*50, or 200 inches.

But we want the answer in feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so the perimeter in feet is 200/12 or 50/3 feet.
