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.

Answer:

Y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Both functions have

maximum of $\frac{2}{3}$

minimum of - $\frac{2}{3}$

midline is then the average of these

( $\frac{2}{3}$ - $\frac{2}{3}$ ) ÷ 2 = 0 ÷ 2 = 0

midline has equation y = 0 ( that is the x- axis )

Answer:

The answer is 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you count the number of units from point A up to the same Y coordinate as point B, the amount of units is 9.

Then, the number of units from that point over to point B is 12 units.

Using this information, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find that 9 squared is 81, 12 squared is 144, add 144 and 81 to get 225, and then you can find the square root of 225 which equals the answer of 15 units.

A lightbulb is installed. With probability 1/3 , it burns out immediately when it is first installed. With probability 2/3 , it

Andrej [43]

Answer:

1 time unit

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1 in 3 chance that the time until the bulb burns out is zero, and a 2 in 3 chance that the time is the average between 0 and 3 (since it is uniformly distributed). Therefore, the expected value for the time until it burns is:

$E(x) = \frac{1}{3}*0+\frac{2}{3} *\frac{0+3}{2}\\ E(X) = 1$

The expected value of the time until the lightbulb burns out is 1 time unit.
