Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an algebraic equation to solve this situation: x + x + 1 = 65, where x = first integer (small number) and x + 1 = the following integer.

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (x+x)+1=65
  • 2x + 1 = 65

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

  • 2x + 1 - 1 = 65 - 1
  • 2x = 64

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2 = 64/2
  • x = 32

Therefore, the smaller number is 32 while the larger number is 33.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

\bf \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{42}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{42}}{\sqrt{42}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{42}}{(\sqrt{42})^2}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{42}}{42}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{42}}{21}

f(x) = −16x2 + 24x + 16 Part A: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work. (2 points) Part B: Is the vertex
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = −16x^2 + 24x + 16

Set equal to zero to find the x intercepts

0  = −16x^2 + 24x + 16

Factor out -8

0 = -8(2x^2 -3x-2)

Factor

0 = -8(2x +1) (x-2)

Using the zero product property

2x+1 =0    x-2 =0

x = -1/2      x=2

The x intercepts are -1/2   ,2

Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative the graph will open down and the vertex will be a maximum

The x value of the maximum is 1/2 way between the zeros

(-1/2+2) /2 = 1.5/2 =.75

To find the y value substitute into the function

f(.75) = -8(2x +1) (x-2)

        =-8(2*.75+1) (.75-2)

        = -8(2.5)(-1.25)

         =25

The vertex is at (.75, 25)

We have the zeros, and  the vertex.  We know the graph is symmetrical about the vertex

Could someone help i’ll mark brainliest! please explain too
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

C. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I almost thought this was going to be Pythagorean Theorem, but no.

Use Cosine Law:

cos θ =  \frac{10^2 + 21^2 - 17^2}{2(10)(21)}

θ = cos−1(0.6)

θ = 53.130...

Now use the SOHCAHTOA ratio for sine (\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}) to find x now that you have one angle:

sin θ = \frac{x}{10}

x = 10sinθ (θ isn't needed to be written out as it is shown in the equation above)

x = 8
