The equation in terms of x is x(x + 2) = 99 or x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

The pairs of integers are  -11 and -9 or 9 and 11

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the two consecutive odd integers be x and x + 2

Let "x" be the smallest integer

Given that product of two consecutive odd integers is 99

To find: an equation in terms of  x

Product of x and x + 2 = 99

x(x + 2) = 99\\\\x^2 + 2x = 99\\\\x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

Thus the equation in terms of x is found

Let us solve the above equation to find all pairs of integers

Solve the quadratic equation by grouping method

Middle term 2x can be written as 11x - 9x

\rightarrow x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0\\\\\rightarrow x^2 + 11x - 9x -99 = 0

Now group the terms,

\rightarrow (x^2 + 11x) - (9x + 99) = 0

Take "x" as common term from first group and 9 as common term from second group

\rightarrow x(x + 11)-9(x+ 11) = 0

Now take x + 11 as common term,

\rightarrow (x + 11)(x - 9) = 0

Equating to zero we get,

x + 11 = 0 or x - 9 = 0

x = -11 or x = 9

<em><u>When x = -11 :</u></em>

x + 2 = -11 + 2 = -9

Thus first set of two consecutive odd integers are -11 and -9

<em><u>When x = 9 :</u></em>

x + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

Thus second set of two consecutive odd integers are 9 and 11

Answer is slope of 5


Step by step


You can graph the slope as seen on the attached picture. You go up 30, you go right +6. Slope is y/x, so 30/6, equals 5



You can also use the slope formula


(y2-y1) over (x2-x1)


Using points on the graph


(6,0) and (0,-30)


(-30-0 ) over (0-6)


-30 over -6


-30/-6


= 5

I am a solid figure with two congruent polygons that are bases connected with lateral faces that are rectangles
Andrews [41]
<span>We have lateral faces that are rectangles and 2 congruent polygons that are bases. This must be 3-dimensional solid figure - quadrilateral prism. If those 2 bases are squares then it is a rectangular prism, but the bases also can be 2 rhombuses. Answer: Quadrilateral prism.</span><span />
