2. Suppose (220)_b and (251)_b are the squares of consecutive integers. Determine b.

Andrei [34K]

Let $x$ and $x+1$ be these consecutive integers. For some base $b$ , we can write

$(x_{10})^2=220_b=2b^2+2b$

$((x+1)_{10})^2=251_b=2b^2+5b+1$

$x^2=2b^2+2b$

then

$x^2+1=2b^2+2b+1$

Now,

$x^2+2x+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$2x+2b^2+2b+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$\implies2x=3b$

Squaring both sides gives

$4x^2=9b^2$

and so

$4(2b^2+2b)=9b^2$

$\implies8b^2+8b=9b^2$

$\implies b^2-8b=0\implies\boxed{b=8}$

(because the base has to be non-zero)

A giraffe can run 40 meters per second what is its speed in miles per hour

lora16 [44]

Bearing in mind that, there are

60 seconds in 1 minute,
60 minutes in 1 hr,
1000 meters in 1 km,
and 1.609 km in 1 mile

$\bf \cfrac{40\underline{m}}{\underline{s}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{s}}{\underline{min}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{min}}{hr}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{km}}{1000\underline{m}}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{1.609\underline{km}}\implies \cfrac{40\cdot 60\cdot 60\cdot mi}{hr\cdot 1000\cdot 1.609}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{144000mi}{1609hr}\approx 89.496581\frac{mi}{hr}$
