1st integer: x
2nd integer: x+2
Multiply them: x(x+2)=440
X^2+2x-440=0
Use the quadratic formula
x=-22 or x=20
Since x must be a positive integer number, x=20.
Answer:
1st: 20.
2nd: 22

profit, p = 6 × $50 = $300
losses, l = 120 + 30 + 200 = $350
overall = p - l = -$50
loss of $50
Graph four shows the increase
This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term. So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number
In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so
a(n)=2^(n-1) so on the sixth week he will run:
a(6)=2^5=32
He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.
Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r) where the variables have the same values so
s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)
s(n)=2^n-1 so
s(6)=2^6-1
s(6)=64-1
s(6)=63 blocks
So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.
