Equations:
b = 2a + 1
a * b = 36 --> a * (2a + 1) = 36 --> 2a^2 + a - 36 = 0
Factor: 
(2a + 9)(a - 4) = 0
2a + 9 = 0 --> a = -9/2 = -4.5
a - 4 = 0 --> a = 4
Assuming a is an integer, then a = 4 so b = 2(4) + 1 = 9
Answer: 4 and 9

Honestly, this one works out to be a quadratic (which I don't really feel like going into detail) . . . so instead, since this one is fairly simple to think about, I'll simply try "trial and error" . . .

Possible combinations:
1 × 36 = 36
2 × 18 = 36
3 × 12 = 36
4 × 9 = 36
6 × 6 = 36

Obviously, multiply 4 × 2 = 8 . . . and 9 is one more than 8, which is 2 times the first number, 4 . . . so that's your answer . . .

the numbers are 4 and 9

About how many cubes were used to make this figure? A. about 40 B. about 70 C. about 100 D. about 140
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Around 100,i.e. 105

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given cube

Length of the cube = 7 unit cells

Breadth of the cube = 3 unit cells

Height of the cube = 5 unit cells

Therefore the number of unit cubes required to make such big cube is nothing but the volume of the big cube = length*breadth*height

⇒Number of cubes used to make that big cube= 7*5*3

                                                                               = 105

Hence, option D (around 100) is the correct answer

5. Let A = (x, y), B = {1,2). Find the Cartesian products of A and B: A x B? (Hint: the result will be a set of pairs (a, b) whe
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: A x B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cartesian product of any two sets M and N is the set of all possible ordered pairs such that the elements of M are first values and the elements of N are the second values.

The Cartesian product of sets M and N is denoted by M × N.

For Example : M = {x,y} and N={a,b}

Then , M × N ={(x,a), (x,b), (y,a), (y,b)}

Given : Let A = {x, y}, B = {1,2}

Then , the Cartesian products of A and B will be :

A x B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2)}

Hence, the Cartesian products of A and B = A x B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2)}
