Answer:

m+n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

I am thinking of n consecutive positive integers. The smallest of these numbers is m.

So,

  • a_1=m - the first number,
  • a_2=m+1 - the second number,
  • a_3=m+2 - the third number,
  • ...
  • a_n=m+(n-1)=m+n-1 - the nth number.

The list of n consecutive positive integers is

m, \ m+1,\ m+2,\ m+3, \ ... ,\ m+n-1

The largest integer is m+n-1

Answer:

a_n=m+n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that n consecutive integers.

Smallest positive integer=m

We have to find the formula which represents the  largest positive integer of given integers.

Suppose we have n positive consecutive integers

First integer=m

Second positive integer=m+1

Third integer=m+2

:

:

:

d_1=m+1-m=1

d_2=m+2-m-1=1

Difference between  consecutive integers are constant. It means it is in A.P

nth term of AP is given by

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Substitute the value

a_n=m+(n-1)

a_n=m+n-1

Hence, the formula that represents the largest integer of given integers is given by

a_n=m+n-1

Answer:

x = -3, x = 0 is a extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply

3x² = 4x² + 3x

Step 2: Isolate <em>x</em>'s

0 = x² + 3x

Step 3: Factor

0 = x(x + 3)

Step 4: Find roots

x = 0, -3

Step 5: Double check work

Plug in both to see if they both work. Only x = 0 should be extraneous. We now have our answer!
