x(x – 5) = 176 is the correct equation to find the greater integer.

As the question mentions, the greater integer is x. So, the smaller integer will be (x - 5). Also, we are informed that their product is 176.

Now, representing the given information as mathematical expression -

x(x – 5) = 176

On further multiplication on Left Hand Side, we get the equation -

x² - 5x = 176

Rewriting the equation -

x² - 5x - 176 = 0

Further solving the equation to validate it.

x² - 16x + 11x - 176 = 0

x (x - 16) + 11 (x - 16) = 0

(x - 16) (x + 11) = 0

x = 16, -11

As stated, the integers are positive. So, the value of x and hence greater integer is 16.

Value of small integer = 16 - 5

Value of small integer = 11

So, the two integers are 16 and 11. Their product is 176 hence, our formed equation is correct.

Therefore, the equation that can be used to find x is : x(x – 5) = 176.

The complete question is -

Two positive integers have a product of 176. One integer is 5 less than the other integer. Which equation can be used to find the value of x, the greater integer?

x² + 5 = 176

x(x + 5) = 176

x(x – 5) = 176

x² – 5 = 176

If f(x) = x² + 7, what is the value of f(4)?
dalvyx [7]

Value of f(4) is f(4)= 23 given f(x)= x^2+7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)= x^2+7 and we need to find value of f(4)

Solving:

We will put x=4 and solve the given equation:

f(x)= x^2+7

f(4)= (4)^2+7

We know (4)^2=16

f(4)= 16+7

f(4)= 23

So, Value of f(4) is f(4)= 23 given f(x)= x^2+7
