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.

Write a complete two-column proof for the following information. Hint: Use the Angle Addition Theorem and the fact that a line i
kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: m∠1 = 62° and lines t and l intersect

Prove: m∠4 = 62°

Proof:

Statement                                        Reason

m∠1 = 62°                                         Given

m∠1 , m∠2 are supplementary       t is a straight line hence linear pair.

m∠4 , m∠2 are supplementary       r is a straight line hence linear pair.

Angle 2=180-62 = 118                      Definition of supplementary angles

Angle 4 = 180-118 =62                     -do-

Angle 1 = Angle 4                            Equality property

Hence proved
