x^2 = the first integer
(x - 1)^2 = the second integer.
x^2 - (x - 1)^2 = ?
First, let's plug a number into our equation for x.
(2)^2 - (2 - 1)^2 = ?
4 - (1)^2 = ?
4 - 1 = 3
As we can see the difference is odd but it's also the sum of the two consecutive integers.
2 + 1 = 3.
This works for all numbers. Let's plug another number into our equation for x.
(4)^2 - (4 - 1)^2 = ?
16 - (3)^2 = ?
16 - 9 = 7
4 + 3 = 7
Try any number and it will always be odd.
Answer:
-4(8)=x^2-9x+12
-32=x^2-9x+12
Step-by-step explanation: is this what u want us to do?
-7.89, -5.23, -5.22, 34.98, 51.02, 51.22
Lets break it down:
(Rational numbers consist of whole, numbers, integers, and fractions)
Negatives come after 0, so the greater the number gets, the less value it has, opposite of positive numbers.
So since -7.89 is the greatest negative number, it will have the least value.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Judy = $5/hr
Ben = $4/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Judy's hours at work - x
Ben's hours at work - y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Given these two equations above, we get:
10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.
Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:
9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65
9x + 40 - 4x = 65
5x = 25
x = 5
Come back to the first equation, substitute x:
8*5 + 10y = 80
10y = 80 - 40
y = 4
