SOLUTION:

Let whole number = x

x + 2x^2 = 21

2x^2 + x - 21 = 0

2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0

x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0

( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0


2x + 7 = 0

2x = - 7

x = - 7 / 2

OR

x - 3 = 0

x = 3


ANSWER:

Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer: 1. 2rs is 2 . r . s = 2rs                                                                                               2. 18rst is 2 . 3 . 3 r. s. t = 18rst

3.  25ab is 5 . 5 a . b  = 25ab                                                                                   4. 30abc is 2 . 3 . 5 a . b . c= 30abc                                                                                          5. 45abr is 3 . 3 . 5 . a . b . r

Step-by-step explanation: 2. 18rst is 2 . 3 . 3 . r . s . t because 2 x 3 = 6 x 3 = 18rst.    

3. 25ab is 5 . 5 a . b because 5 x 5 = 25ab

4. 30abc is 2 . 3 . 5 a . b because 2 x 3 = 6 x 5 = 30abc.

5. 45abr is 3 . 3 . 5 . a . b . r because 3 x 3 = 9 x 5 = 45abr.

Hope this works! :) If not, I am sorry :(.  If it does, Your Welcome! :)

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the answer choices are even triangles, let alone right triangles. The sum of the two smaller sides isn't larger than the bigger side on any of the triangles, which means that they cannot be closed.

Find the area of the cone:
Area of cone: ⅓r^2h
⅓r^2h
= ⅓(3.5)^2(7)
= ⅓(12.25)(7)
= 1/3(85.75)
= 85.75/3

A student concludes that for all values of x,x^2+x+1 produces a prime number. Which value of x serves as counterexample to prove
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

j

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given values into x² + x + 1 and check if result is prime

x = - 4

(- 4)² - 4 + 1 = 16 - 4 + 1 = 13 ← prime

(- 2)² - 2 + 1 = 4 - 2 + 1 = 3 ← prime

(- 3)² - 3 + 1 = 9 - 3 + 1 = 7 ← prime

4² + 4 + 1 = 16 + 4 + 1 = 21 ← not prime

x = 4 serves as a counterexample to disprove this conclusion
