The product of two positive consecutive integers is 132. find the integers.

1 answer:

4 0

X(x+1) = 132
x^2+x = 132
x^2+x-132 = 0

Factoring this gets you

(x+12)(x-11) = 0

x = 11 only because x = -12 is negative and you’re looking for positive integers

x+1
11+1
12

The two integers are 11 and 12

Can the product of a whole number and a decimal number less than 1 ever be greater than the whole number? Give examples to suppo

No. Let's say we use 10 and 0.38. 1 X 10 is 10, so if anything is lower than 1, it will be lower than 10. Therefore, 0.38 X 10 is 3.8. This is less than the whole number, 10. Hope this is clear enough.

Determine and state the coordinates of the center and length of the radius of a circle whose equation is

padilas [110]

First, rewrite the equation in standard form.
The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format:
(x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2
with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r".

(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 81

From here, you can determine the center and radius. The center is at (3,-4) and the radius is 9.
