Let
and
be these consecutive integers. For some base
, we can write


If

then

Now,



Squaring both sides gives

and so



(because the base has to be non-zero)
Answer:
type 2 in the first box,
13/4 in the second box, and
-9/8 in the third one
Step-by-step explanation:Notice that you are asked to write the following quadratic expression in vertex form, so you need to find the "x" value of the vertex, and then the "y" value of the vertex:

Which in our case is: -13/4
and the value of the y for the vertex is obtained using the functional expression when x equals -13/4:

Then your expression for this quadratic should be:

Then type 2 in the first box, 13/4 in the second box, and -9/8 in the third one
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
Answer: 11 muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Maria mixes 1/4 cup white sugar with 2/3 cup brown sugar, this will give us a mixture of:
= 1/4 + 2/3
= 3/12 + 8/12
= 11/12
Ww are then told that she uses 1/12 cup of the mixture to top each muffin. Therefore, the number of muffins that she can top will be:
= 11/12 ÷ 1/12
= 11/12 × 12/1
= 12
She can top 11 muffins.
