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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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!

Which piecewise function represents the graph?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the right side of each piecewise function, you will see the x-values. That is what we will be focusing on in this explanation. All four equations have x <u>></u> 4, and we know that to be true. If you look at the equation on the graph going South West, you will see that the endpoint is at x=1. Only 1 equation, D, has this in the piecewise function. To confirm it is D, you can see that 1<x<4 is also in the piecewise function, and all the values line up with their corresponding y-values.

Hope this helps! :)

How can complex fractions be used to solve problems involving ratios
strojnjashka [21]
When you have ratios, and some unknowns, you can create complex fractions from them. Bring them to the same denominator, and solve for x.

Example - we have this proportion:
2-x
5-45
And we can change it into fraction:
\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{45}

\frac{2*9}{5*9}=\frac{x}{45}

\frac{18}{45}=\frac{x}{45}
18=x

In case of more complex fractions it may come in handy.
