Answer:

14 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

They are the ONLY consecutive even numbers

And also

x and (x+2)

x(x+2)=224 ( product of a number and the consecutive of that number)

x ²+ 2x-224=0

(x+16)(x-14) =0

x=-16 or 14

In this case 14 and (14+2) 14 and 16

The integers are either 14 and 16 or -14 and -16.

r= diameter/ 2

Radius is half of a diameter

While diameter is

Answer:

d. x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a point on curve P and its (nearest) image on curve P'. The midpoint between those points is on the line of reflection. That line is the x-axis.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The curve is symmetrical about the y-axis, so each point on P also has an image point that is its reflection across the origin. The reflection of P could be across both the x- and y-axes, or (equivalently) across the origin. We don't know the meaning of "xy-axis", so we suspect that is a red herring. The best choice here is "x-axis."
