4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0
x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13
When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1
Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.
That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.
Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.
We are asked in the problem to devise a polynomial equation that has a GCF of 6 which means each of the terms can be divided to 6. For example: 6*(x^2 + x+1) = 6x^2 + 6x +6. This polynomial is created by multiplying each terms by the number 6 which is distinguished by factoring.
Answer:
75.6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one.
Given data
we are told that the original quantity of food is 63 ounces
and the increase is in food is by 20%
Step two:
let us find the increase in ounces
=20/100*63
=0.2*63
=12.6 ounces
Hence the amount of food in the bag now is
=12.6+63
=75.6 ounces
Answer: 0
Step-by-step explanation:
This could be written as
Applying L'H rule and differentiating 3 times , we have
taking the limit as x goes to infinity , we have
0
