(x+1)^2-x^2=23

x^2+2x+1-x^2=23

2x+1=23

2x=22

x=11

11^2 = 121

x+1 =12

12^2=144

144-121 = 23

Determine whether or not 630 is a triangular number. start with the formula t n = n ( n + 1 ) 2 and then use the quadratic formu
ziro4ka [17]
Triangular sequence = n(n + 1)/2

If 630 is a triangular number, then:

n(n + 1)/2  = 630

Then n should be a positive whole number if 630 is a triangular number.

n(n + 1)/2  = 630

n(n + 1)  = 2*630

n(n + 1)  = 1260

n² + n = 1260

n² + n - 1260 = 0

By trial an error note that 1260 = 35 * 36

n² + n - 1260 = 0

Replace n with 36n - 35n

n² + 36n - 35n - 1260 = 0

n(n + 36) - 35(n + 36) = 0

(n + 36)(n - 35) = 0

n + 36 = 0   or   n - 35 = 0

n = 0 - 36,   or  n = 0 + 35

n = -36, or 35

n can not be negative. 

n = 35 is valid.

Since n is a positive whole number, that means 630 is a triangular number.

So the answer is True.

Shelly and Mickelle are making a quilt. They have a piece of fabric that measures 48 inches by 168 inches.
irinina [24]

Answer:

(a) The largest square side is 24 inches

(b) No. of pieces are 14

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question:

The dimensions of the fabric are 48 in\times 168 in

(a)To calculate the side length of the largest square piece, we need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the dimensions as:

48 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3

168 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 7

Therefore,

The GCF of the dimensions = 48 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 3 = 24

Therefore, the largest side of  a square that can be cut from the fabric is 24 inches.

(b) The no. of pieces of 24 inches that can be cut from the fabric can be given as:

No. of pieces = \frac{Total\ Area}{Area\ of\ largest\ square}

No. of pieces = \frac{48\times 168}{24\times 24} =  14

Samuel orders DVD’s from an online music store. Each DVD costs $9.99. He has a 20% discount code, and sales tax is 6.75%. What i
ludmilkaskok [199]
Hey You!

Let's solve this step-by-step:

9.99 * 20% = 1.998

9.99 - 1.998 = 7.992

7.992 * 6.75% = 0.53946

7.992 + 0.53946 = 8.53746

The total cost of his order is $8.53
