X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)
since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1
If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6
The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6
If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7
The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7
The final answer is 6
Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
Answer:
Sorry i also have no idea
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute y=0 then multuply both sides move the variable to the left and change the sign.
Finding the intercepts is a very straight-forward process. First set y = 0 and solve the equation for x. That is your y-intercept! Then go back to the original equation and set x = 0 and solve for y. That is your x-intercept! For a linear equation like this there is only one x-intercept. For any "function" y(x) there can by definition be only one y-intercept.
