The product of two consecutive integers is 420. Which quadratic equation can be used to find x, the lesser number?

1 answer:

4 0

(x) * (x+1) = 420
x^2 +x = 420
x^2 +x -420 = 0
a = 1
b=1
c=-420

x = -b +-sq root(b^2 -4*a*c) / (2*a)
x = -1 +-sq root(1 -4*1*-420) / (2*1)
x = [-1 +-sq root(1 +1680)] / 2
x = -1/2 +- 41/2
x1 = 20
x2 = -21

So, the numbers are 20 and 21
and -21 and -20

17 = 3(4x - 5)

Distributive property.

17 = 12x - 15

Add 15 to both sides.

32 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12.

x = 2.67. (This is your answer.)

The table shows a linear function. Which equation represents the function.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{f(x)=\dfrac{3}{2}x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The slope-intercept formula:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m\ -\ slope\\b\ -\ y-intercept\\\\\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{From the table we hve two points (0, -1) and (2, 2). Substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-1)}{2-0}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$\text{Therefore the equation is}\ f(x)=\dfrac{3}{2}x-1\\\\\text{Check for the point (4, 5):}\\\\f(4)=\dfrac{3}{2}(4)-1=(3)(2)-1=6-1=5\qquad\ CORRECT$
