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

Find the distance between A (6, -1) and B ( -18, 15)
timama [110]

Answer:

8√13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the distance formula.

The distance formula states that the distance between two points (x, y) and (a, b) is equal to:

d = \sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2}

Here, x = 6, y = -1, a = -18, and b = 15. Plug these in:

d = \sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2}

d = \sqrt{(6-(-18))^2+(-1-15)^2}=\sqrt{24^2+(-16)^2} =\sqrt{576 + 256} =\sqrt{832} = 8√13

The answer is thus 8√13 units.
