Answer:

-37, -36

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum is -73

the numbers are consecutive so they must both be negative

73 /2 = 36.5  so the numbers are

-36 + -37 = -73

Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is this equation:

x+(x+1)=number

So, x+x+1=-73

2x+1=-73

 -1       -1

2x=-74

/2    /2

x=-37

we can check this by adding -37+-36=-73 because -37 would be the lesser number.

Watch out, because that is the lesser number. -36 would be greater.

So -36.

Which of the following vectors are orthogonal to (1,5)? Check all that apply
Andre45 [30]
We know that
If the scalar product of two vectors<span> is zero, both vectors are </span><span>orthogonal

</span><span>A. (-2,5)
</span>(-2,5)*(1,5)-------> -2*1+5*5=23-----------> <span>are not orthogonal 

</span><span>B. (10,-2)
</span>(10,-2)*(1,5)-------> 10*1-2*5=0-----------> are  orthogonal 

<span>C. (-1,-5)
</span>(-1,-5)*(1,5)-------> -1*1-5*5=-26-----------> are not orthogonal 

<span>D. (-5,1)
</span>(-5,1)*(1,5)-------> -5*1+1*5=0-----------> are  orthogonal 

the answer is 
B. (10,-2) and D. (-5,1)  are  orthogonal  to  (1,5)

a winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. the inlet pipe can fill the vat 7 hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it in
raketka [301]
Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers. 

Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)

For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour. 

So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added. 

Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer. 

70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.
