Answer:

<em>The smaller integer is -3 and the greater integer is -2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call

x = the smaller integer

x + 1 = greater consecutive integer

The relationship between them is that twice the smaller is four less than the greater:

2x = x + 1 - 4

Subtracting x:

x = 1 - 4

Operating:

x = -3

x + 1 = -2

The smaller integer is -3 and the greater integer is -2

Prove the following statement.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

You can prove this statement as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd integer is a number of the form 2k+1 where k\in \mathbb{Z}. Consider the following cases.

Case 1. If k is even we have: (2k+1)^{2}=(2(2s)+1)^{2}=(4s+1)^{2}=16s^2+8s+1=8(2s^2+s)+1.

If we denote by m=2s^2+2 we have that (2k+1)^{2}=8m+1.

Case 2. if k is odd we have: (2k+1)^{2}=(2(2s+1)+1)^{2}=(4s+3)^{2}=16s^2+24s+9=16s^{2}+24s+8+1=8(2s^{2}+3s+1)+1.

If we denote by m=2s^{2}+24s+1 we have that (2k+1)^{2}=8m+1

This result says that the remainder when we divide the square of any odd integer by 8 is 1.

A customer wants to purchase a pair of shoes that cost $45 and the state sales tax is 7%.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

$22.84

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax is calculated by 0.075 * 21.25 = 1.59375 or $1.59. So the total bill is the cost of items purchased plus tax, which is $21.25 + $1.59 = $22.84.
