Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given a point the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is
or equivalently
.
Recall that a line of the form , the y intercept is b and the x intercept is
.
So, in our case, the y intercept is and the x intercept is
.
In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph . Which means that
The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at . Using the properties of derivatives, we get
. So evaluated at
we get
Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is
The x intercept is
The triangle in consideration has height and base
. So the area is
So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
Answer:
First number: -39
Second number: -37
Step-by-step explanation:
An odd number can be written as where n is a whole number.
Let's call our first number 2n+1.
Our second, consecutive number will be 2 more than our first number, since it has to be odd. All numbers go: odd -> even -> odd -> even. If we have an odd number, and add 2, we'll get the next odd number.
First number: 2n+1
Second number: 2n+1+2 = 2n+3
The sum of these two numbers, 2n+1 and 2n+3 will be -76.
(2n+1) + (2n+3) = -76
2n + 2n + 1 + 3 = -76
4n + 4 = -76
4n = -80
n = -20
Since our first number is 2n+1:
2 * (-20) + 1 = -40 + 1 = -39
First number: -39
Our second number is 2n+3, or 2 more than our first number.
-39 + 2 = -37
Second number: -37
We can double check this:
-39 + (-37) = -39 - 37 = -76
