Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1
x*(x+1)= 420
Use distributive property
x*x + x*1 = 420
x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.
Answer is: a= -4

Simplify ——————
a2 - 9
Equation at the end of step
3
:
a 3 1
(————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a - 3 a + 3
Equation at the end of step
4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)
Equation at the end of step
6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
Make a system of equations and solve for each variable.
3m+8v=53
5m+2v=26
m= movie cost
v= game cost
multiply the bottom equation by 4(combination method)
3m+8v=53
20m+8v=104. Subtract
-17m = -51
m= 3
Plug back into one of the equations
5(3)+2v=26
15+2v=26
2v=11
v=5.5
m=$3
v=$5.5
A function cannot be a function if any x is repeating. The x in A has the number 1 repeating. The x is C has 2 repeating the x in D has 1 repeating.
Therefore, our answer would be (B)
