The sum of two even consecutive integers is 114. What is the smallest integer?

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two <em>even</em> consecutive integers is 114.

Let's let the first even integer be 2n, where n is <em>some</em> integer: it doesn't matter what n is, but if we multiply n by 2, we are certainly getting an even number. This is because any integer multiplied by 2 is even.

So, this means that the second number is 2n+2.

Their sum is 114. In other words:

(2n)+(2n+2)=114

Solve for n.

Combine like terms:

4n+2=114

Subtract 2 from both sides:

4n=112

Divide both sides by 4:

n=28

So, n is 28.

This means that the first number is 28(2) or 56.

And the second number is 58.

So, the smallest integer is 56.

And we're done!

When x increases from a to a +2, y increases by a factor of 1/4
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

y=7* (0.5)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when x increases from 'a' to 'a+2' then y must increase by a factor of 1/4=0.25.

i.e. when x=a and x'=a+2.

then y/y=0.25 where y' is the function after putting x' to the old function.
