n, n+1 - two consecutive integers
n(n + 1) = 50 <em>use distributive property</em>
n² + n = 50 <em>subtract 50 from both sides</em>
n² + n - 50 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------
ax² + bx + c =0
if b² - 4ac > 0 then we have two solutions:
[-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and [-b - √(b² + 4ac)]/2a
if b² - 4ac = 0 then we have one solution -b/2a
if b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solution
----------------------------------------------------------
n² + n - 50 = 0
a = 1, b = 1, c = -50
b² - 4ac = 1² - 4(1)(-50) = 1 + 200 = 201 > 0 → two solutions
√(b² - 4ac) = √(201) - it's the irrational number
Answer: There are no two consecutive integers whose product is 50.
What you do is look at the graph and whatever that line is on then that will be your answer.
Answer:
The proportion that can be used to find x is;
(200-x)/x = 7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, we want to find the proportion which can be used to find x.
From the question, we are told that the father skater traveled 7 ft for every 6 ft of the slower skater;
this means that the ratio of their speed is 7:6
Now, when they passed each other , the slower skater has traveled x ft, what this means is that the faster skater will have traveled a distance of (200-x) ft at that moment they passed each other.
Mathematically, since their time is equal i.e the time they used to pass each other, then, the ratio of their distances is same as the ratio of their speeds;
Hence;
(200-x)/x = 7/6 or x/(200-x) = 6/7
