Let, first integer is x.

Therefore, other two are x+1 , x+2 .

Now, mathematical expression of given conditions is :

4x + 3 = 3(x+2)

4x + 3 = 3x + 6

x = 3.

So, the consecutive numbers are 3 , 4 and 5.

Therefore, the middle integer is 4.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find two numbers whose difference is 176 and whose product is a minimum.

Zanzabum

Let the two required numbers be x and y, then x - y = 176, thus y = x - 176.

Let the product of the two numbers be represented by

$P = xy x(x - 176) = x^2 - 176x$

For the product to be minimum, $\frac{dP}{dx} =0$

$\frac{dP}{dx} =2x - 176=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow2x=176 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=88$

Thus, y = 88 - 176 = -88

Therefore, the two numbers are 88 and -88.

Bruno needs to solve the equation x2 + 6x – 8 = 0 by completing the square. Which pair of steps is the most efficient way to beg

sp2606 [1]

First think of the form a^2 + 2c + c^2

c in the question is clearly 3.

So we need first to add 8 for both sides to get rid of -8 and then add 9 to complete the square.

So it will be (x^2+3)^2 = 17

So the choice number 3 is the answer.

Hope this helps!
