Using algebra
n and n+2 are the integers
n*(n+2)=288
n^2+2n=288
n^2+2n-288=0
288=2*2*2*2*2*3*3=(2*2*2*2)*(2*3*3)=16*18 and 18-16=2
factor(n+18)(n-16)=0
n+18=0
n=-18
n+2=-16
this is one solution
n-16=0
n=16
n+2=18
this is another solution
as you can see, it's just a matter of factoring 288using arithmetic...√288=16.97≈1716 and 18 are the integers (as well as -16 and -18)
Answer:
The answer is C.
There is a horizontal line test but the question asks to use the vertical line test. Using the horizontal line test you would get that the function is not one to one but using the vertical line test you would get its one to one.
So you need to mutpies it and then never forget that 0.23
