Biased, because there is only survey of one group of people (one grade, one class). The sample (the class) is too small compared to the population (assuming it’s an average school size). You will end up with less than 1 percent of the population size thus the survey is not reliable information.
What a delightful little problem ! (Partly because I could see
right away how to do it, and had the answer in a few minutes,
after a lot of impressive-looking algebra on my scratch-paper.)
Three consecutive integers are . . . x, x+1, and x+2
The smallest two are . . . x and x+1
Their product is . . . . . x(x+1)
5 times the largest one is . . . 5(x+2)
5 less than that is . . . . . . 5(x+2)-5
Now, the conditions of the problem say that <u>x (x + 1) = 5 (x+2) - 5</u>
THAT's the equation we have to solve, to find 'x' .
Eliminate parentheses: x² + x = 5x + 10 - 5
Combine like terms: x² + x = 5x + 5
Subtract 5x from each side: x² - 4x = 5
Subtract 5 from each side: <u>x² - 4x - 5 = 0</u>
You could solve that by factoring it, or use the quadratic equation.
Factored, it says that (x + 1) (x - 5) = 0
From which <em>x = -1</em>
and <em>x = +5</em>
We only want the positive results, so our three consecutive integers are
5, 6, and 7 .
To answer the question, the smallest one is <em><u>5 </u></em>.
<u>Check</u>:
5 x 6 ? = ? (7 x 5) - 5
30 ? = ? (35) - 5
30 = 30
yay !
Answer:
D. y=-2x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>First start with what we know....</em></u>
y = -2x + 3 (Slope Intercept Form)
<u><em>Because of this we can eliminate B. </em></u>
<u><em>Parallel means that the lines wouldn't be touching which means they should have the same slope and the only one with the same slope is D. </em></u>
