Answer:

8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive integers be x - 1 and x

Smaller = x-1

Largere = x

If the square of the smaller integer is nineteen more than five times the larger integer, then;

(x-1)² = 19 + 5x

Expand

x²-2x+1= 19+5x

x²-2x-5x+1-19 -0

x²-7x-18 =0

Factorize

x²-9x+2x-18 =0

x(x-9)+2(x-9) = 0

(x+2) = 0 and x - 9 = 0

x = -2 and 9

SInce x cannot be negative;

x = 9

Smaller number = 9-1

Smaller number = 8

Hence the two consecutive integers are 8 and 9

1. Use the data points about the distance and elevations of the camps to graph the data points where the x-coordinate is the tot
Vadim26 [7]

You should plot the total distance traveled from the base camp on the x-coordinate while the elevation should be plotted on the y-coordinate.

<h3>What is a graph?</h3>

A graph simply refers to a type of chart which is commonly used to graphically represent data on both the vertical and horizontal lines of a cartesian coordinate (x-coordinate and y-coordinate).

<h3>How to plot this graph?</h3>

In this scenario, you would plot the total distance traveled from the base camp on the x-coordinate while the elevation of the camps would be plotted on the y-coordinate as shown in the image attached below.

BRAINLIEST!!- Find 0.25of 40
ipn [44]

Answer: 25% of 40 or 0.25 of 40 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you have to divide 40 by 10 because 1/4 of 100 is 25. 25 is 1/4 of 100.

So knowing this 40/0.25 is equal to 10. This is why 0.25 of 40 is 10.

Given the trinomial 2x2 − 5x + 3, what is the value of the Discriminant and what can be said about the solutions.
valina [46]
The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
