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:

The graph of function g is the graph of function f shifted 6 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 2^x$

$g(x) =2^x + 6$

Required

Compare g(x) to f(x)

Substitute $f(x) = 2^x$ in $g(x) =2^x + 6$

$g(x) = f(x) + 6$

<em>This implies that f(x) is shifted 6 units upward to give g(x)</em>

Find the slope if it exits 2x-5y=6

77julia77 [94]

In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.

If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

Set it equal to y

2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.

Which of the following is a area of the special trepezoid if ab=19,cd=19 and the height is 14

tankabanditka [31]

As, Opposite side of Special trapezoid is equal.So, it will be a Parallelogram.

ab=c d= 19 units

Height of Trapezoid = 14 units

Area of Trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2} \times {\text{Sum of parallel sides}} \times {\text{Perpendicular Distance between them}}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times (19+19) \times 14\\\\ =\frac{1}{2} \times 38 \times 14\\\\ = 19 \times 14\\\\= 266$

So, Area of Trapezoid = 266 square units

You, can use the formula for finding the area of parallelogram,which is = Base on which perpendicular is drawn × Length of Altitude

= 19 × 14

= 266 square units

The monomial of the 2nd degree with a coeficcient of 3

uranmaximum [27]

I assume it is the last one, 3n^2, because the degree is the exponent, which is two and the three is the coefficient, which is next to the variable, plus it is a monomial, so there is only one term, eliminating the first two, the third one is just reversed. Therefore, the answer should be the last one. Hope this helps. :)
