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

Mathematics

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago

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

Lines r and s are parallel.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r and s are parallel lines, then

The angle adjacent to 1 is corresponding to 158 and are congruent, thus

adjacent angle to 1 = 158°

1 and 158° are adjacent and supplementary, so

∠ 1 + 158° = 180° ( subtract 158° from both sides )

∠ 1 = 22° → B

Well guys I hope you guys know the answer for this question. Help please ASAP. Thank you
Aneli [31]

Answer: D) The linear model shows a strong fit to the data

The actual strength of the relationship is unknown unless we have the actual values of each data point (so we can compute the correlation coefficient r), but the residuals are randomly scattered about both above and below the horizontal axis. This means we have a fairly good linear fit. If all of the points were above the line, or all below the line, or all residuals fit a certain pattern (eg: parabola), then it wouldn't be a good linear fit.

Identify the points corresponding to p and q. Help needed!!
givi [52]

Answer:

The points corresponding to P=(3,4) and Q=(6,7), so the answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, in mathematics, given two sets X and Y, the collection of all the ordered pairs (X, Y), formed with a first element in X and a second element in Y, is called the Cartesian product of X and Y. The Cartesian product of sets allows define relationships and functions. In this case, it is a function that contains two points, denoted P and Q. Given, the ordered pair of each, first read the one corresponding to the X axis  and then to the Y axis.

For P: you read X and you see that it is on 3 (between 2 and 4), and then the Y axis is on 4 (between 3 and 5).

For Q: you read X and you see that it is on 6 (between 5 and 7) and then the Y axis is on 7 (between 6 and 8)

The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day in Lollypop Town can be modeled by the equation below: 2|x − 6| + 14 = 38 What
enyata [817]
2|x-6|+14=38
\rightarrow2|x-6|=24
\rightarrow|x-6|=12

There are two cases:
1. x-6=12\rightarrow x=18
2. x-6=-12\rightarrow x=-6

So the minimum temperature is -6, and the maximum is 18.
