How many sets of three consecutive integers are there in which the sum of the three integers equals their product?
skad [1K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 3 integers are consecutive, we are dealing with x, x+1, x+2.

and their sum is the same as their product :

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = x(x + 1)(x + 2)

3x + 3 = x(x² + 3x + 2) = x³ + 3x² + 2x

x³ + 3x² - x - 3 = 0

this is a polynomial of third degree.

and as such it has 3 solutions.

of course, it could be that some of them are the same or are even in the realm of complex numbers (i = sqrt(-1)), but usually these 3 solutions are different real numbers.

I tried x=1 just to see, and, hey, it is a solution for this equation.

x = 1 means that the other 2 consecutive integers are 2 and 3.

and indeed, 1+2+3 = 1×2×3 = 6.

now it is easier to find the other 2 solutions, as a zero solution can be expressed as a factor of the whole expression.

for x = 1 the factor term is (x - 1), as this term is then turning 0, when x = 1.

I can divide the main expression by this factor and then analyze the quotient about the other 2 solutions.

x³ + 3x² - x - 3 : x - 1 = x² + 4x + 3

- x³ - x²

----------------

0 4x² - x

- 4x² - 4x

-----------------------

0 + 3x - 3

- 3x - 3

---------------------------

0 0

so, the original expression can be written as

(x² + 4x + 3)(x - 1).

now we need to find the 2 zero solutions for x²+4x+3

the general solution to a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 4

c = 3

so,

x = (-4 ± sqrt(4² - 4×1×3))/(2×1) =

= (-4 ± sqrt(16 - 12))/2 = (-4 ± sqrt(4))/2 =

= (-4 ± 2)/2 = -2 ± 1

x1 = -2 + 1 = -1

x2 = -2 - 1 = -3

so, we have the additional solutions :

-1 0 1

-3 -2 -1

-1 + 0 + 1 = -1×0×1 = 0

-3 + -2 + -1 = -3×-2×-1 = -6

and there we have it fully proven :

there are 3 different sets of 3 consecutive integers with the same sum as product.

Dylan has a square piece of metal that measures 10 inches on each side. he cuts the metal along the diagonal, forming two right
Artemon [7]
You need to use the Pythagorean theory. a² + b² = c². So you would end up with 10²+10²=c². So, 10²=100, therefore you would end up with 200=c². In order to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to find C. To do this, you need to undo the square and find the square root of 200 and C. So, you would get √200=√c² which would equal 14.1 inches. Then, if needed to check the answer, plug the 10,10,and 14.1 back into the a²+b²=c² and it should make the statement true.
