2n+1, 2n+3 - consecutive odd integers

(2n+1)(2n+3)=3(2n+1+2n+3)+6\\
4n^2+6n+2n+3=3(4n+4)+6\\
4n^2+8n+3=12n+12+6\\
4n^2-4n+15=0\\
\Delta=(-4)^2-4\cdot4\cdot15=16-240=-224\\

\Delta

It's not possible.

I don't think it is.

If the first integer is 'x', then the second one is (x+2).
Their product is (x²+2x), and their sum is (2x+2).

You have said that  (x²+2x) = 3(2x+2) + 6

                                 x²+2x = 6x + 6 + 6

                                 <u>x² - 4x - 12 = 0</u>

                                (x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

                             x = 6    and    x = -2

The numbers are  ('6' and '8'), or ('-2' and 0).

I honestly don't know what to make of the second pair.
But the first pair satisfies the description:

              The product (48) = 3 x the sum (3 x 14 = 42) plus 6.

So '6' and '8' completely work, except that they're not <u>odd</u> integers.

4x^2 + x + 3 = 0

x =  [-1 +/- sqrt (1^2 - 4 * 4 * 3)]  / 8 =  - 1 +/- sqrt ( --47) / 8

=  ( - 1 +/- sqrt47i) / 8  =  -0.125 + 0.857i ,  -0.125 - 0.857i

Pls help! <br> Identify the range of the function shown in the graph. <br><br> Thanks
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is all y values of a graph and seeing that it has no arrows means its not infinite so its not B. The graph starts at 0 and ends at 5 so the smallest value is 0 and the largest is 5 therefore making the answer A.

In a store, 1 can of soup costs $1.80. The store also sells a pack 6 cans of soup. A customer who buys 1 pack saves 15% compared
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

\$1.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the cost of one pack of 6 cans of soup

step 1

Find the cost of 6 cans of soup

6(1.80)=\$10.8

step 2

Find the cost of one pack of 6 cans of soup

100\%-15\%=85\%=85/100=0.85

x=0.85(\$10.8)=\$9.18

step 3

Find the money saved

\$10.8-\$9.18=\$1.62
