The difference of the squares of two consecutive integers is 21. find the integers.

1 answer:

4 0

Let the two integers be x and x+1
(x+1)^2-x^2=21
x^2+2x+1-x^2=21
2x+1=21
2x=20
x=10
then x=10, x+1
10+1=11
the two integers are 10, 11

What is the y-intercept of f(x)=(1÷4)<br>

Hunter-Best [27]

Y-intercept means x=0 but judging from the question you only gave f(x) which means Y

And so I think the only valid answer there is

Y= 0.25
X=0

The first digit may be 1 or 8.

The second digit may be 1, 2, 4, 8.

The third digit may be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

There are $2\times4\times5=40\:variants$

The probability that this is the correct code is $\frac{1}{40}$

If neither a nor b are equal to zero, which answer most accurately describes the product of (a + bi)(a - bi)?

Scrat [10]

Answer: the correct option is

(D) The imaginary part is zero.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that neither a nor b are equal to zero.

We are to select the correct statement that accurately describes the following product :

$P=(a+bi)(a-bi)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We will be using the following formula :

$(x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2.$

From product (i), we get

$P\\\\=(a+bi)(a-bi)\\\\=a^2-(bi)^2\\\\=a^2-b^2i^2\\\\=a^2-b^2\times (-1)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }i^2=-1]\\\\=a^2+b^2.$

So, there is no imaginary part in the given product.

Thus, the correct option is

(D) The imaginary part is zero.

Explain how to estimate 586- 321 in two different ways

stealth61 [152]

One way:

585-320=265 (Rounding to the nearest 5)

590-320=270 (Rounding to the nearest 10)

600- 300= 300 (Rounding to the nearest 100)

Hope you found this helpful :)
