The product of two consecutive negative integers is 182

Answer:

The two numbers are -14, -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be -x

Since other number is consecutive then it should be  -x+1.

It is given that their product is 182.

then

-x*(-x+1) = 182

=> x^2 -x = 182

==> x^2 -x -182 = 0

solving for x

 x^2 -x - 182 = 0\\=> x^2 + 14x - 13x - 182 = 0\\=>x(x+14) -13(x+14)\\=>(x+14) (x-13) = 0\\x+14 = 0  \ or \ x-13 = 0\\x = -14 \ or  \ x = 13

Given that the numbers are negative then 13 can not be value of x

Thus x = -14

other number = -x+1 = 14+1 = -13.

Answer:

93.39

Step-by-step explanation:

So the sum of exterior angles of the convex octagon is: 360 degrees

This means if we add all the equations that represent each angle, we can set it equal to 360 and solve for x

(x+14) + (2x-3) + (3x+8) + (3x+16) + (2x-17) + (3x-4) + (3x-12) + (6x)

Group like terms

(x+2x+3x+3x+2x+3x+3x+6x) + (14-3+8+16-17-4-12)

Add like terms

23x+2

Now let's set the sum of exterior angles to 360

23x+2 = 360

Subtract 2 from both sides

23x=358

Divide both sides by 23

x\approx 15.565

So by looking at all these, it appears that 6x is the highest value, given that x is positive. The way I estimated, is approximately 15.5, whenever I saw an equation like x+14, I estimated it's about 2x, since 14 is not exactly, but close to 15.5. I did this with each polynomial given. You could also manually check each one
