The product of three integers x, x+2, and x-5 is 240. What are the integers?

Answer:

  8, 10, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding real solutions to cubic equations and those of higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be useful. The problem can be cast in the form ...

  f(x) = 0

where f(x) is the difference between the product of the integers and 240:

  f(x) = x(x +2)(x -5) -240

Then all we need to do is ask the calculator to show the x-intercept. It is x=8.

So, the three integers are ...

  • x = 8
  • x+2 = 10
  • x -5 = 3

What’s the slope of 10,6 and 4, 1.2
Kruka [31]

let's firstly change the 1.2 to a fraction

1.\underline{2}\implies \cfrac{12}{1\underline{0}}\implies \cfrac{6}{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{6}{5}}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{6}{5}}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{10}}}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{6-30}{5}~~}{-6}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{-24}{5}~~}{-6}\implies \cfrac{~~ -\frac{24}{5}~~}{-\frac{6}{1}}

-\cfrac{\stackrel{4}{~~\begin{matrix} 24 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{5}\cdot -\cfrac{1}{\underset{1}{~~\begin{matrix} 6 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{4}{5}}
