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

Complete the square to transform the quadratic equation into the form (x – p)2 = q. x2 - 12x - 5 = 7 A) (x - 36)2 = 9 B) (x - 6)
iren2701 [21]

x2 - 12x - 12 = 0

(x - 6)2 - 48 = 0

(x - 6)2 = 48

Hence, the answer is (B).

What's the solution ​
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The center is -1,5   and the radius is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation. x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 10 y = − 22 Complete the square for x 2 + 2 x . ( x + 1 ) 2 − 1 Substitute ( x + 1 ) 2 − 1 for x 2 + 2 x in the equation x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 10 y = − 22 . ( x + 1 ) 2 − 1 + y 2 − 10 y = − 22 Move − 1 to the right side of the equation by adding 1 to both sides. ( x + 1 ) 2 + y 2 − 10 y = − 22 + 1 Complete the square for y 2 − 10 y . ( y − 5 ) 2 − 25 Substitute ( y − 5 ) 2 − 25 for y 2 − 10 y in the equation x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 10 y = − 22 . ( x + 1 ) 2 + ( y − 5 ) 2 − 25 = − 22 + 1 Move − 25 to the right side of the equation by adding 25 to both sides. ( x + 1 ) 2 + ( y − 5 ) 2 = − 22 + 1 + 25 Simplify − 22 + 1 + 25 . ( x + 1 ) 2 + ( y − 5 ) 2 = 4 This is the form of a circle. Use this form to determine the center and radius of the circle. ( x − h ) 2 + ( y − k ) 2 = r 2 Match the values in this circle to those of the standard form. The variable r represents the radius of the circle, h represents the x-offset from the origin, and k represents the y-offset from origin. r = 2 h = − 1 k = 5 The center of the circle is found at ( h , k ) . Center: ( − 1 , 5 ) These values represent the important values for graphing and analyzing a circle.
