Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
I believe the sum of the root is: -3/2
And the product of the root is: 0
I hope this helps and have a great week :)
Answer:
b(b/a)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the value of the car depreciates such that its value at the end of each year is p % less than its value at the end of the previous year and that car was worth a dollars on December 31, 2010 and was worth b dollars on December 31, 2011, then
b = a - (p% × a) = a(1-p%)
b/a = 1 - p%
p% = 1 - b/a = (a-b)/a
Let the worth of the car on December 31, 2012 be c
then
c = b - (b × p%) = b(1-p%)
Let the worth of the car on December 31, 2013 be d
then
d = c - (c × p%)
d = c(1-p%)
d = b(1-p%)(1-p%)
d = b(1-p%)^2
d = b(1- (a-b)/a)^2
d = b((a-a+b)/a)^2
d = b(b/a)^2 = b^3/a^2
The car's worth on December 31, 2013 = b(b/a)^2 = b^3/a^2
Answer:
the perimeter is 11cm and the area is 7cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
NP =PS, meaning they have the same length. so the perimeter is 3.5 + 4 + another 3.5.
For the area imagine you cut the triangle in half. from P to the middle of NS. Put the 2 triangle halves together to form a rectangle. (PS is now touching NP). This would be a 2x 3.5 rectangle. 2x 3.5 is 7, meaning both this imagined rectangle and the triangle have an area of 7cm^2.
