What first of all this is a test second how are we supposed to do that where can we find M
7^(7n + 7) = 2401
apply log on both sides to solve the equation
log 7^(7n + 7) = log 2401
the power is brought forward
(7n + 7) log 7 = log 2401
7n +7 = log 2401 / log 7
7n + 7 = 4
7n = -3
n = -3/7
Hope it helped!

is continuous over its domain, all real

.
Meanwhile,

is defined for real

.
If

, then we have

as the domain of

.
We know that if

and

are continuous functions, then so is the composite function

.
Both

and

are continuous on their domains (excluding the endpoints in the case of

), which means

is continuous over

.
Hey there!
2x+1=73.
2x=72.
x=36<span>.
</span>
So the 2 consecutive numbers are 72 and 36!
Hope this helps! :)
