Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 99

1 answer:

8 0

Let x be the first odd number.

Second odd number will be x+2

Proof:

If 3 (was) the first odd number, 3+2 would be the next which is 5.

So,

(x) (x+2) = 99
xsquare + 2x = 99
xsquare +2x - 99 = 0
xsquare +11x - 9x -99 = 0
x(x +11) -9(x + 11) = 0
(x+11) (x-9) = 0

So the two odd numbers were 9 and 11

Not always if you're saying it will always be something like 1/2 becomes 2/1 with a unit of one. It's just flipped, so 2/6 will be 6/2, 4/5 becomes 5/4, 22/16 becomes 16/22 etc. That is all there is to it. Make sure you simplify your answers.

Which expression represents the composition f(g(h(x))) for the functions below? f(x) = 2x + 1 g(x) = 4x2 h(x) = x2 4x4 8x4 + 1 8

Yuri [45]

H(x)=x²
g(h(x))=4(x²)²=4x^4
f(g(h(x)))=2(4x^4)+1=8x^4+1
B is the answer.

What are two numbers that add up to 43 and their difference is 11?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

27 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 43

x - y = 11

You can add up the two equations so the ys are cancelled out.

2x = 54

x = 27

Plug x in to find y.

27 - y = 11

y = 16
