n(n+1)=42 \\
n^2+n=42 \\
n^2+n-42=0 \\ \\
a=1 \\ b=1 \\ c=-42 \\ b^2-4ac=1^2-4 \times 1 \times (-42)=1+168=169 \\ \\
n=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{169}}{2 \times 1}=\frac{-1 \pm 13}{2} \\
n=\frac{-1 -13}{2} \ \lor \ n=\frac{-1+13}{2} \\
n=\frac{-14}{2} \ \lor \ n=\frac{12}{2} \\
n=-7 \ \lor \ n=6

The positive integer is 6.
The consecutive integers are 6 and 7.

Help!! BRAINLIEST TOO!
natulia [17]

Answer:

36.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for the given data

Required

Which length is closest to 4.2lb

The given data is a linear dataset.

So, we start by calculating the slope (m)

m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Pick any two corresponding points from the table

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (8,1.21)

(x_2,y_2) = (12,1.63)

So:

m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m =\frac{1.63 - 1.21}{12 - 8}

m =\frac{0.42}{4}

m =0.105

The linear equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives:

y = 0.105 * (x - 8) + 1.21

Open bracket

y = 0.105x - 0.84 + 1.21

y = 0.105x + 0.37

To get the length closest to 4.2lb,

we set y = 4.2

Then solve for x

So, we have:

y = 0.105x + 0.37

4.2 = 0.105x + 0.37

Collect like terms

0.105x= 4.2 - 0.37

0.105x= 3.83

Solve for x

x= 3.83/0.105

x\approx 36.5

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The current that produces maximum power is 3A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(c) = 20(c - 3)^2

Required [Missing from the question]

The current that produces maximum power

First, we represent the function in standard form

P(c) = 20(c - 3)^2

P(c) = 20(c - 3)(c - 3)

Open bracket

P(c) = 20(c^2 -6c+ 9)

P(c) = 20c^2 -120c+ 180

The maximum value of c is:

Max(c) = \frac{-b}{2a}

Where:

f(x) = ax^2 + b^2 + c

By comparison: P(c) = 20c^2 -120c+ 180

a = 20

b = -120

c = 180

So, we have:

Max(c) = \frac{-b}{2a}

Max(c) = \frac{-(-120)}{2 * 20}

Max(c) = \frac{120}{40}

Max(c) = 3
