The product of two consecutive odd numbers is 10 more than the square of the smaller number. Find the smaller number

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive odd numbers be n and n + 2 , then

n(n + 2) = n² + 10 , that is

n² + 2n = n² + 10 ( subtract n² from both sides )

2n = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 5

That is the smaller number is 5

7. Which of the following relations is a function?A.{(2, 3), (-2, 3), (3, 2), (-3,-2)}
B.{(8,-4), (-4, 8), (-4, -8), (-8,4)}
C.{(9, -1), (-1, 9), (9, 2), (2, -1)}
D.{(5, -7), (4, 6), (-3, 8), (5,9)}

Answers

A function means that each x can only have one y-value

B, C, and D are NOT functions because they have x-values that have multiple y-values.

For example

B. has two values for -4:

(-4, 8) and (-4, -8)

C. has two values for 9:

(9, -1) and (9, 2)

D. has two values for 5:

(5, -7) and (5, 9)

This makes A. the only function
