The product of two consecutive even integers is 360. find the integers.

1 answer:

7 0

Let the integers be x and x + 2, provided x is even.

x(x + 2) = 360
x² + 2x = 360
x² + 2x - 360 = 0
(x - 18)(x + 20) = 0

x = 18, or x = -20
Thus, the integers are: 18 and 20, or -20 and -18

Answer:

(x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
(x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
(2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 2x³ +x² -18x -9 = x²(2x +1) -9(2x +1) = (x² -9)(2x +1) = (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)

B) x³ +3x² -x -3 = x²(x +3) -1(x +3) = (x² -1)(x +3) = (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)

C) 4x³ -16x² -x +4 = 4x²(x -4) -1(x -4) = (4x² -1)(x -4) = (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)
