If you’re using distributive property you’re answer would be... -6x+12 hope I helped !
Consecutive integers = in this situation double-digit whole numbers
So as there are 3 of them let's say 2 are 11 because that would be the highest consecutive number so 11+11= 22 and 48-22=26 so the three have the ages of 11,11,26 and the oldest would be 26 ;)
First evaluate 990 x 37.
990 x 37 = 36630
Test the given numbers to find the pair that adds up to 36630.
Test 297.
The missing pair will be
36630 - 297 = 36333
Will not work
Test 693.
36630 - 693 = 35937
Will not work
Test 2970.
36630 - 2970 = 33660
Will not work
Test 6930
36630 - 6930 = 29700
This works, because 6930 + 29700 = 36630.
Answer: 6930 and 29700.
The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,
3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1
(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2
Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5
Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5
Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.
