The product of two consecutive integers is equal to 14 more than 4 times the sum. This can be simplified to x²-7x-18=0. What are

the two integers?

Answer:

-1 and -2, or 9 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the smaller integer:

x (x + 1) = 14 + 4 (x + x + 1)

x² + x = 14 + 4 (2x + 1)

x² + x = 14 + 8x + 4

x² − 7x − 18 = 0

Factor using AC method:

(x − 9) (x + 2) = 0

x = -2 or 9

x is the smaller integer, so the larger integers are -1 and 10.  Check each pair of solutions.

-1 and -2:

(-2) (-1) = 14 + 4 (-2 + -1)

2 = 14 + 4 (-3)

2 = 2

9 and 10:

(9) (10) = 14 + 4 (9 + 10)

90 = 14 + 4 (19)

90 = 90

Both solutions work.

A credit card had an APR of 15.98% all of last year, and compounded interest daily. What was the credit card's effective interes
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Option(B) is the correct answer to the given question.

Step by Step Explanation

We know that

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1+\ \frac{r}{n} \ ) ^{nt}

Here A=amount

r=15.98%=0.1598

n=365

t=1

Putting these values into the equation

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1+\ \frac{0.1598}{365} \ ) ^{365}

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1+\ 0.000437) ^\ { 365}

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1.000437 ) ^{365}

A\ =1.17288 P

Now we find the interest

I=1.17288P\ -P\\=\ 0.17288P\\\ ~ 0.1720P

Therefore effective interest rate of the last year can be determined by

\frac{0.1720P}{P}

=0.1720 *100

=17.20%

What is the area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle is 11 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the area of two squares, one being 33 units² the other 44 units². A square is present with all sides being equal, and hence the length of the square present with an area of 33 units² say, should be x² = 33 - if x = the length of one side. Let's make it so that this side belongs to the side of the triangle, to our convenience,

x² = 33,

x = \sqrt{33} .... this is the length of the square, but also a leg of the triangle. Let's calculate the length of the square present with an area of 44 units². This would also be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

x² = 44,

x = \sqrt{44} .... applying pythagorean theorem we should receive the length of a side of the unknown square area. By taking this length to the power of two, we can calculate the square's area, and hence get our solution.

Let x = the length of the side of the unknown square's area -

\sqrt{(44)}^2 = x^2 + \sqrt{33}^2,

x = \sqrt{11} ... And \sqrt{11} squared is 11, making the area of this square 11 units².
