Answer:

the two consecutive negative integers are -2 and -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent these negative integers by m and n.

Then (because the integers are consecutive) n = m + 1, and m^2 = n + 5.

Substituting m + 1 for n in the second equation, we get:

m^2 = m + 1 + 5, or

m^2 - m - 6 = 0

This factors into (m - 3)(m + 2) = 0.  The only negative root is -2.  

Thus, the two consecutive negative integers are -2 and -1.

Check:  Is the  square of the first five more than the second?

Is (-2)^2 = -1 + 5?  YES

The integers aer -2 and -1.

Mkey [24]
A equivelent ratios are just like equivelent fractions. If two ratios have the same value,then they are equivelent,even tho they may look different! A ratio table is the relation betwen two similiar magnitudes with respect to the number of times the first contains the two.

What is the midpoint of C(5,3 and D(-3,-6)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoints of two coordinates is expressed using the formula;

M(X, Y) = (x2+x1/2, y2+y1/2)

Given the coordinates  c(5,3) and d(-3,-6)

x1 = 5, y1 = 3, x2 = -3 and y2 = -6

X = x1+x2/2

X = 5+(-3)/3

X = 5-3/2

X = 2/2

X = 1

Also;

Y = y1+y2/2

Y = 3+(-6)/2

Y = 3-6/2

Y = -3/2

Y = -1.5
