The smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.

<h3>How to solve algebraic word problems?</h3>

Let the 3 consecutive integers be;

x, y and z

Thus;

y = x + 1

z = x + 2

Now, we are told that their sum is equal to 4 times the largest number minus 29. Thus;

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 2) - 29

3x + 3 = 4x + 8 - 29

4x - 3x = 3 + 21

x = 24

Thus, we can conclude that the smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.

Let f(x) be a quartic polynomial with integer coefficients and four integer roots. Suppose the constant term of f(x) is 6.(a) Is
frez [133]

Answer:

  (a) yes

  (b) no; see below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Integer roots of the quartic will be integer divisors of 6. One of the divisors of 6 is 3, so 3 is a possible root.

(b) In order for 3 to be a double root, it would have to be a double factor of 6. The only integer factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. (3² = 9 is not one.)

___

The quartic can be written as ...

  k(x -a)(x -b)(x -c)(x -d) . . . . . where a, b, c, d, k are integers

The constant term will be kabcd, of which each of the roots is a factor. If the constant is 6 and one root is d=3, then we must have

  kabcd = 3kabc = 6

  kabc = 6/3 = 2

Among these four integer factors, there must be an even number of minus signs, and one that has the value ±2. Another root whose value is 3 will not satisfy the requirements.

Russell and Aaron can build a shed in 8 hours when working together. Aaron works three times as fast as Russel. How long would i
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

32 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the time taken by Russell and Aaron to build the shed.

We have been given that Russell and Aaron can build a shed in 8 hours when working together. Aaron works three times as fast as Russel.

Russell's work rate would be \frac{1}{x}.

Since Aaron works three times as fast as Russel, so Aaron's work rate would be \frac{3}{x}.

Part of work done by in one hour would be \frac{1}{8}.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8}

Let us solve for x.

\frac{1}{x}*8x+\frac{3}{x}*8x=\frac{1}{8}*8x

8+3*8=x

8+24=x

32=x

Therefore, it will take Russell 32 hours to build the shed working alone.
