Answer:

The integers could be 21 and 22

or -22 and -21

Step-by-step explanation:

If two integers are consecutive, then it means that their difference is just 1

if we have the initial value as x , then the other value could be x-1 or x + 1

let us go with x-1

So the product here is;

x(x-1) = 462

x^2-x = 462

x^2 -x -462 = 0

x^2 -22x + 21x - 462 = 0

x(x-22) + 21(x-22) = 0

(x + 21)(x-22) = 0

x = -21 or x = 22

If x = -21

x -1 = -21-1 = -22

if x = 22

x -1 = 22-1 = 21

Three cell phones towers can be modeled by the points X(6,0), Y(8,4), and Z(3,9). Determine the location of another cell phone t

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is $(h,k) = (3,4)$ , and the equation of the circle is $x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

$x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

$A$ , $B$ , $C$ - Circunference constants.

Given the number of variable, we need the location of three distinct points:

$(x_{1},y_{1}) = (6,0)$

$36 +6\cdot A + C = 0$

$(x_{2},y_{2}) = (8,4)$

$80 + 8\cdot A + 4\cdot B + C = 0$

$(x_{3},y_{3}) = (3,9)$

$90 + 3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = 0$

Then, we have the following system of linear equations:

$6\cdot A + C = -36$ (2)

$8\cdot A +4\cdot B + C = -80$ (3)

$3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = -90$ (4)

The solution of this system is:

$A = -6$ , $B = -8$ , $C = 0$

By comparing the general form with the standard form of the equation of the circunference is:

$A = -2\cdot h$ (5)

$B = -2\cdot k$ (6)

$C = h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}$ (7)

Where:

$h$ , $k$ - Coordinates of the center of the circle.

$r$ - Radius of the circle.

If we know that $A = -6$ , $B = -8$ and $C = 0$ , then coordinates of the center of the circle and its radius are, respectively:

$h = -\frac{A}{2}$

$k = -\frac{B}{2}$

$r = \sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}-C}$

$h = 3$ , $k = 4$ , $r = 5$

The location of the new cell phone tower is $(h,k) = (3,4)$ , and the equation of the circle is $x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0$ .

Write the standard form of the line that has a slope of -3/4 and y-intercept of -2. Include your work in your final answer. Type

Nataliya [291]

3x + 4y = - 8

The equation of a line in standard form is Ax + By = C

where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers

Express the line in ' slope- intercept form '

y = mx + c → (m is the slope and c is the y-intercept)

here m = - $\frac{3}{4}$ and c = - 2

hence y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 2 → equation in slope- intercept form

multiply all terms by 4

4y = - 3x - 8

add 3x to both sides

3x + 4y = - 8 → in standard form

P (D) = .42, P (E) = .27, and P (D ∩ E) = .15 P (D U E)

Paul [167]

We know that $P(D\cap E)=P(D)P(E)=\boxed{0.1134}$ .

And $P(D\cup E)=P(D)+P(E)-P(D\cap E)=\boxed{0.5766}$ .

Hope this helps.
