Answer:
Two consecutive integers are of the form
x and x + 1
Their product is equal to 56
x(x + 1) = 56
Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows
x2 + x - 56 = 0
Factor and solve
(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
solutions: x = 7 , x = -8
x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence
x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
quadratic equations can be soled by 3 methods
factorization
completing square
quadratic formula
but factorization is the simplest
Volume of one cubic block = (1/6)^3 = 1/216 cu ins
Volume of the prism = 1/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 4/27 cu ins
Number of blocks to fill prism = 4/27 / 1/216 = (216*4) / 27 = 32
