What are 3 consecutive integers whose product is -120

Mathematics

iren2701 [21]3 years ago
5 0
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

Mars2501 [29]
<h3>Answer:  shaded region has area 107 square feet</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

A = area of larger rectangle

A = length*width = 9*15 = 135 square feet

B = area of smaller rectangle

B = length*width = 7*4 = 28 square feet

C = area of shaded region

C = difference in areas of A and B

C = A - B = 135 - 28 = 107 square feet

C=8h+12
the 8h represents the $8 per hour for renting the boat, and h represents however many hours you rent the boat for.  The +12 is the initial $12 fee.  This is in slope intercept form, just using different variables than y=mx+b

Ana drew a map of the Panama Canal. In the scale Ana used for the map, 4 centimeters represents 20 kilometers. The actual length
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Length of the canal on the map is 16.4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If actual length of Panama Canal = 20 kilometers

and length of the canal on map = 4 centimeters

Then scale factor = \frac{\text{Length of canal on map}}{\text{Actual length of canal}}

= \frac{4}{20}

= \frac{1}{5}

If the actual length of Panama Canal = 82 kilometers

Then the length of canal on the map = Actual length × Scale factor

= 82\times \frac{1}{5}

= 16.4 centimeters

Therefore, length of the canal on the map is 16.4 centimeters.
