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.

Using a simulator at space​ camp, you practice landing your individual spaceship on landing platforms that have different shapes
Mila [183]

The Area of the platform is 33m²

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, the height of vertex from the base (D from AB) is 7m whereas the height of left vertex from the base (E from AB) is 4m

Thus it means the height of the Δ DCE (DX)= 7-4 ⇒3m

Since the platform is five-sided, the figure can be broken down into constituting parts

  1. Parallelogram ║ABCE
  2. Δ DCE

Are of the figure= Area of ║ABCE+ area Δ DCE

Area of ║ABCE= breadth * height

= 6*4 ⇒24m ²

Area Δ DCE= ½*(base)(height)

Putting the value of base is 6m and height as 3m

Area Δ DCE= ½*6*3

=9m ²

Total area= 24+9= 33m ²

Which line represents the direct variation equation y = 1/2x?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/ x must pass through the origin because when x = 0, y = 0.

So its either B or C.

A positive slope rises to the right ( 1/2  is positive), so its C.

You can also see that the slope of C is 1/2 because it passes through the points (0.0) and (2, 1).
