Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and  the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2

now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5

thus   a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5   <----- solve for "a"

If the discriminant, b^2-4ac is ___, a quadratic will have two real roots, two points of intersection with the x-axis.
den301095 [7]

If the discriminant, b² - 4ac is<u> positive</u>

<h3>How to complete the statement?</h3>

From the question, we have the following equation of discriminant

The discriminant (d) is calculated as

d = b² - 4ac

The solutions of a quadratic equation are dependent on the following conditions

  • If d = 0, the quadratic equation has 1 real solution
  • If d < 0, the quadratic equation has imaginary solutions
  • If d > 0, the quadratic equation has 2 different real solutions

This means that "d > 0, the quadratic equation has 2 different real solutions" implies that the discriminant is positive

Hence, the complete statement is (b) positive

How can you tell if a function is linear by looking at the graph or the equation​
MrMuchimi
Every linear graph is just a straight line, so if there are any curves or unnatural shapes, than you know it is not linear. As for equations, if it can be shaped into y=mx+b where m and b are numbers, then it will be a linear equation.
