A x b = 24

Possible values of a and b are:
1 x 24 = 24
2 x 12 = 24
3 x 8 =24
4 x 6 = 24

The possible sums of a and b are:
1 + 24 = 25
2 + 12 = 14
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 6 = 10

Therefore, the least possible sum of a and b is 10.

Answer:

The least possible sum is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two integers are "a" and "b".

The factors of 24 is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.

Thus, the possible combinations of "a" and "b" are:

2 and 12, 4 and 6, 8 and 3.

And, the sum of these combinations are: 2 +12 = 14

4 + 6 = 10

8 + 3 = 11

Thus, the least possible sum is 10 which is the combination of 4 and 6.

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is
Liula [17]

Answer:

  33.4 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The edge length of the base is 1/4 of the perimeter, so is ...

  (10.3 m)/4 = 2.575 m

Then the area of the base is the square of this, or ...

  B = (2.575 m)^2 = 6.630625 m^2

The volume is ...

  V = (1/3)Bh = (1/3)(6.630625 m^2)(15.1 m) ≈ 33.4 m^3

The volume of the pyramid is about 33.4 cubic meters.

Describe the solution of the equation x^2+7x+2=0
yarga [219]
This is a quadratic equation with a general equation of ax^2 + bx + c.
The quadratic formula can help to get the roots of the equation. We know the highest degree of that equation is 2; so there will be also two roots.
The quadratic formula is
x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

With a = 1, b = 7, c = 2,
x = {-7 ± √[(7)^2 - 4(1)(2)]} / 2(1) = (-7 ± √41) / 2

So the two roots are
x1 = (-7 + √41) / 2 = -0.2984
x2 = (-7 - √41) / 2 = 0.2984

This is also another way of factorizing the equation
(x + 0.2984)(x + 0.2984) = x^2 + 7x + 2
