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?
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
I think the answer is B. f(x) = -1/3x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the given functions to set up and simplify
4−16.
XF(x)=X
Fx
1 − 7 = −6
2 − 10 = −8
3 − 13 = −10
4 − 16 = −12
Y=mx+b is the slope intercept form where m=slope and b=y intercept
so
2y=x-4
divide both sides by 2
y=1/2x-2
slope is 1/2
By skipping the number for an example skip count by 2 so u go like 2 4 6 8 10 and so on its also how you mulitiply<span />
