How many pairs of consecutive natural numbers have a product of less than 40000? I am in 5th grade. This is supposed to be easy

for me, but it's not. I would greatly appreciate any help at all. Thank you, Anonymous

Answer:

There are 199 pairs of consecutive natural numbers whose product is less than 40000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice that such statement can be translated into this inequation:

n \cdot (n+1) < 40000

Now we solve this inequation to the highest value of n that satisfy the inequation:

n^{2}+n < 40000

n^{2}+n -40000

The Quadratic Formula shows that roots are:

n_{1,2} = \frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^{2}-4\cdot (1)\cdot (-40000)}}{2\cdot (1)}

n_{1,2} = -\frac{1}{2}\pm \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{160001}

n_{1} = -\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{160001}

n_{1} \approx 199.501

n_{2} = -\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{160001}

n_{2} \approx -200.501

Only the first root is valid source to determine the highest possible value of n, which is n_{max} = 199. Each natural number represents an element itself and each pair represents an element as a function of the lowest consecutive natural number. Hence, there are 199 pairs of consecutive natural numbers whose product is less than 40000.

Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

y=ax^2 +bx+c

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a

Equation:

y=ax^2 -2ax+c

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1

Solve:

c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}

Parabola equation:

y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

y=ax^2 +bx+c

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0

Equation:

y=ax^2+c

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1

Solve:

a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7

Parabola equation:

y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7

System of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.
