Two positive, consecutive, odd integers have a product of 143.

Mathematics

zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>The answer is 13</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.

=> x(x - 2) = 143

=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0

=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0

=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0

=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0

=>  x = -11 (invalid)

or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11

=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.

Hope this helps!

Ursula Vanov can invest $5,000 in a 1-year CD at 3% compounded monthly or a 1-year CD compounded daily. Determine the amount at
Aliun [14]
Solving for the amount of maturity given that it is compounded monthly for 1 year with an interest of 3%, we have the formula and solution below:
A = P (1+r/n)^rn 
A = $5,000 (1.040417)
A =$5202.085

For compounded daily, we have the solution below:
A = $5,000 (1.040443)
A = $5202.215

The difference in amount is shown below:
Difference = $5202.215 - $5202.085
Difference = $0.13

What is a simpler form of the expression? -3(-4y+3)+7y please explain, i don’t understand it.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

19y - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the acronym PEMDAS. First, we need to calculate -3(-4y+3) by distributing. This is -3 * (-4y) + (-3) * 3 = 12y - 9 so the expression becomes 12y - 9 + 7y. Next, we need to combine like terms. 12y and +7y are like terms since they both have y so combining them gives us 12y + 7y = 19y. -9 stays by itself since there are no other constants so the final answer is 19y - 9.

The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 120°. What is the measure of each exterior angle? The polygon has how m
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

60°, arms 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total arms = n

total generated angles in a regular polygon is = (n-2)×180

now,

(n-2)×180 = 120 n

or, 180n - 360 =120n

or, 60n = 360

or, n = 6
