What are three consecutive integers whose product is 480 more than their sum?

Mathematics

Natali [406]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The three numbers are 7 8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Let the first number be n - 1
  • Let the second number be n
  • Let the third number = n + 1

Equation

(n - 1)(n)(n + 1) - (n-1 + n + n+1) = 480

Solution

Multiply (n - 1) and (n + 1) = (n - 1)*(n + 1) = n^2 - 1

Multiply the second integer by the result of the first and third: n (n^2 - 1)

Add the three integers together: (x - 1) + (n - 1) + n = 3n  Combine these 2 steps

n(n^2 - 1) - 3n = 480 Remove the brackets

n^3 - n - 3n = 480

n^3 - 4n = 480

n^3 - 4n - 480 = 0

Graph

The graph shows that the intercept point is n =8. This is the only way I can see to solve this cubic. There are no other real roots.

Answer

n - 1 = 7

n = 8

n + 1 = 9

Check

Product 7*8*9 = 504

Sum = 7 + 8 + 9 = 24

504 - 24 = 480 Which checks.

The Perimeter of a rectangle is 36. If there's 5n + 3 and 1/4n + 2, what's the value of n?
seropon [69]
Perimeter: 36

5n + 3 = 36
5 · 6.6 + 3 = 36

N = 6.6
------------------------------------------
Perimeter: 36

1/4n + 2 = 36
1/4 · 136 + 2 = 36

N = 136

Hopefully i understood the question correctly :) Hope this helps

I need to solve the equation 6n + 21 = - 3 - 2n
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

n= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, your're going to subtract from both sides

6n + 21 - 2 1= -3 - 2n - 21

Then simplify

6n = -2n - 24

Then add 2n on both sides

6n + 2n = -2n -24 + 2n

Simplify again

8n = -24

Then divide both sides by 8

8n/8 = -24/8

Then simplify and this is your answer

n= -3

Why is 1 neither prime nor a composite number?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

1 is neither prime nor a composite number because it only has 1 divisor, 1 and 1, and it doesn't have more than 2 integral divisors, like stated, it only has 1. So it falls in neither category.
