In a certain deck of cards, each card has a positive integer written on it. In a multiplication game, a child draws a card and m

ultiplies the integer on the card by the next larger integer. If each possible product is between 15 and 200, then the least and greatest integers on the cards could be

Answer:

  4 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

You want integer solutions to ...

  15 ≤ n(n+1) ≤ 200

If we let the limits be represented by "a", then the equality is represented by ...

  n² +n -a = 0

  (n² +n +1/4) -a -1/4 = 0

  (n +1/2)^2 = (a +1/4)

  n = -1/2 + √(a +1/4)

For a=15, we have

  n ≥ -1/2 + √15.25 ≈ 3.4 . . . . . minimum n is 4

For a=200, we have

  n ≤ -1/2 + √200.25 ≈ 13.7 . . . maximum n is 13

The least and greatest integers on the cards are 4 and 13.

You are designing a rectangular garden. the garden will be enclosed by fencing on three sides and by a house on the fourth side.
RUDIKE [14]
Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y

The area of the rectangle is given by xy,

i.e.

xy = 288  \\  \\  \\  \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{288}{x}

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

P=x+2\left( \frac{288}{x} \right)=x+ \frac{576}{x}

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

\frac{dP}{dx} =0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow1- \frac{576}{x^2} =0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{576}{x^2} =1 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2=576 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{576}=24

Now, recall that

y= \frac{288}{x} = \frac{288}{24} =12

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.

Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.
