What are 3 consecutive integers whose product is -120

Consecutive integers are 1 apart
x,x+1,x+2
(x)(x+1)(x+2)=-120
x^3+3x^2+3x=-120
add 120 to both sides
x^3+3x^2+3x+120=0
factor
(x+6)(x^2-3x+20)=0
set each to zero

x+6=0
x=-6

x^2-3x+20=0
will yeild non-real result, discard
x=-6
x+1=-5
x+2=-4
the numbers are -4,-5,-6



use trial and error and logic
factor 120
120=2*2*2*3*5
how can we rearange these numbers in (x)(y)(z) format such that they multiply to 120?
obviously, the 5 has to stay since 2*5=10 which is out of range
so 2*2*2*3 has to arrange to get 3,4 or 4, 6 or 6,7
obviously, 7 cannot happen since it is prime
3 and 4 results in in 12, but 2*2*2*3=24
therfor answer is 4 and 6
they are all negative since negaive cancel except 1

the numbers are -4,-5,-6

Two numbers multiply together to make 8, but add together to make - 6 What are the two numbers?​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

-4 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find all the factors of 8, that would be 1 and 8, -1 and -8, 2 and 4, and -2 and -4.

Then, adding the groups of numbers you have should show you what would equal -6. So 1 + 8 = 9, -1 + (-8) = -9, same vice versa, 2 + 4 = 6, -2 + (-4) = -6. So -2 and -4 would be your two numbers.

The figure is made up of a square and a rectangle. Find the area of the shaded region.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

40 square metres

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded region is of a triangle, whose area is denoted by: A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

Since the left figure is a square with side lengths 10, we know that the height of the triangle is also 10 metres. The right figure is a rectangle with length 4. Since the total base length of the entire figure is 18 and the base of the square is 10, then the width of the rectangle is 18 - 10 = 8 metres.

This width is also the base of the triangle, so b = 8.

Now plug these values into the equation:

A = (1/2) * b * h

A = (1/2) * 8 * 10 = (1/2) * 80 = 40

The area is 40 square metres.
