Answer:

26 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

1st integer = x

2nd integer = x + 2

x + x + 2 = 54

2x + 2 = 54

2x = 52

x = 26

The 1st integer is 26.

The 2nd integer is 28.

Let's add these numbers.

26 + 28 = 54

54 = 54

Find x.______________a0

velikii [3]

Answer:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we find x, we need to set up this triangle a little more. We need to find the triangle's altitude before we can solve for x. We will use the heartbeat method to find the altitude.

Let altitude = y; solve for y:

$\frac{2}{y}=\frac{y}{6}$

$y^2=12$

$y=\sqrt{12}$

$y=2\sqrt{3}$

Now that we know the altitude, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (x).

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$2^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2=c^2$

$4+12=c^2$

$c^2=16$

$c=4$

Since c and x are the same; c is just the hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem.

$x=4$

What is the vertex of this parabola? y= 2x² + 4x +5

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

vertex = (- 1, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parabola in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

y = 2x² + 4x + 5 ← is in standard form

with a = 2, b = 4, then

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{4}{4}$ = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y, that is

y = 2(- 1)² + 4(- 1) + 5 = 2 - 4 + 5 = 3

vertex = (- 1, 3 )
