Find three positive consecutive integers such that the product of the second integer and the third integer is 72

Answers

Answer 1
Let
x---------> first  positive integer
x+1------> second positive integer
x+2-----> third positive integer

we know that
(x+1)*(x+2)=72-------> x² +2x+x+2=72 -------> x² +3x-70=0

using a graph tool-------> I solve the quadratic equation
see the attached figure

the roots are
x1=-10
x2=7

the answer is
first  positive integer is x=7
second positive integer is x+1=8
third positive integer is x+2=9
Find Three Positive Consecutive Integers Such That The Product Of The Second Integer And The Third Integer
Answer 2

Let xbe a positive integer number. Then x, x+1 and x+2 are three positive consecutive integers (the first one is x, the second is x+1 and the third is x+2).

The product of the second integer and the third integer is (x+1)·(x+2) and is equal to 72. So you have the equation

[tex](x+1)\cdot (x+2)=72.[/tex]

Solve it:

[tex]x^2+2x+x+2=72,\\ \\x^2+3x+2-72=0,\\ \\x^2+3x-70=0,\\ \\D=3^2-4\cdot (-70)=9+280=289,\\ \\\sqrt{D}17,\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{-3-17}{2}=-10,\ x_2=\dfrac{-3+17}{2}=7.[/tex]

Solution [tex]x_1=-10[/tex] is extra because [tex]x_1[/tex] is negative.

Answer: three positive consecutive integers are 7, 8 and 9.

Using the given equation find the missing coordinates of the points and then find the slope of the line for each equation y=3.5x+4; a(...; 5), b(10; ...)

Answers

A(2/7:5)

B(10:39)

The slope is 7/2.

The slope of the line y=3.5x+4 is 3.5, and the missing coordinates will be filled as a(0.28, 5) and b(10, 9)

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

The given equation of line is y=3.5x+4

When we compare this with slope intercept form y=mx+b.

slope m=3.5

We need to find the value of x when y is 5

5=3.5x+4

1=3.5x

Divide both sides by 3.5

x=0.28

So a coordinates are (0.28, 5)

Now let us find y value when x is 10

y=3.5(10)+4

y=39

So b coordinates are (0.28, 39)

Hence, the slope of the line y=3.5x+4 is 3.5, and the missing coordinates will be filled as a(0.28, 5) and b(10, 9)

What are the zeros of f(x) = 4x^2 - 12x + 8 (I need a clear explanation on how to solve it)

Answers

The zero of the quadratic function is therefore x = 1. Since both factors give the same zero, we have a repeated zero and f(x) only touches the x-axis at one point, x = 1.

The zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 4x^2 - 12x + 8 are the values of x that make f(x) = 0. In this function, we can factor by finding two numbers that multiply to give the constant term (8 times 4, the coefficient of x^2) and add to give the coefficient of x (-12). Here, those numbers are -4 and -4, so we rewrite the middle term -12x as -4x - 4x, and factor by grouping:

4x^2 - 4x - 4x + 8 = 0

4x(x - 1) - 4(x - 1) = 0

(4x - 4)(x - 1) = 0

Now we have two factors equal to zero, which gives us two equations to solve:

4x - 4 = 0 or x - 1 = 0

x = 1

A plane is located at C on the diagram. There are two towers located at A and B. The distance between the towers is 7,600 feet, and the angles of elevation are given.




a. Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.
b. Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.

Answers

the complete question in the attached figure

Part A) Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.

in the triangle ACD
sin16=CD/(7600+BD)--------> CD=sin16*(7600+BD)---------> equation 1
 
in the triangle BCD
sin24=CD/BD-----------> CD=sin24*BD---------------> equation 2

equation 1=equation 2
sin16*(7600+BD)=sin24*BD-----> sin16*7600+sin16*BD=sin24*BD
sin24*BD-sin16*BD=sin16*7600----> BD=[sin16*7600]/[sin24-sin16]
BD=15979 ft

in the triangle BCD
cos24=BD/BC---------> BC=BD/cos24-------> 15979/cos24-------> 17491
BC=17491 ft

the answer part 1) BC is 17491 ft

Part 2) Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.

CD=sin24*BD        ( remember equation 2)
BD=15979 ft
CD=sin24*15979 -----------> CD=6499 ft

the answer part 2)  CD is 6499 ft

Answer: The time is takes to cook a turkey is a function of the turkey's weight.

In a function, there is an input and there is an output. The idea of a function is that each individual input is changed into an output.

The time it takes to cook a turkey depends on the size of the turkey.
Smaller turkeys would take less time to cook and larger turkeys would take longer to cook.

So if you start with the turkeys weight, you could determine how long it would need to cook. This is an example of a function.

The time it takes to cook a turkey is a function of the turkey’s weight. Then the correct option is C.

r is the annual interest in decimal

x is the number of periods.

As per the statement:

Consider the function:

On comparing with [1] we have;

[tex]1+r = 1.05[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides we have;

r = 0.05 = 5%

The annual interest is, 5%

and

the bank compounds the interest annually.
