Answer:

The four consecutive multiples of three are 6, 9, 12, and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first multiple of 3 = n

second multiple of 3 = (n + 3)

third multiple of 3 =(n + 6)

fourth multiple of 3 =(n + 9)

product of the first and the third = n(n + 6) = n² + 6n

eight times the fourth number = 8(n + 9) = 8n  + 72

The difference between the two =  n² + 6n - (8n  + 72) = -48

n² + 6n - 8n  - 72 = -48

n² - 2n =  -48 + 72

n² - 2n = 24

n² - 2n - 24 = 0

n²  - 2n - 24 = 0

n² + 4n - 6n - 24 = 0

n(n + 4) - 6(n + 4) = 0

(n - 6)(n + 4) = 0

n = 6    or  - 4

n should be a positive number, thus n = 6

The second multiple of 3 =  (n + 3) = 6 + 3 = 9

The third multiple of 3 =(n + 6) = 6 + 6 = 12

The fourth multiple of 3 = (n + 9) = 6 + 9 = 15

The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.
Pie

Answer:

When you're talking factors, you're talking about some sort of integer; that's because “factors” depends on the concept of divisibility, which are virtually exclusive to integers. When you're talking “greater than”, you're excluding complex numbers (where the concept of ordering doesn't exist) and you're probably assuming positive integers. If you are, then no; no positive integer has factors that are larger than it.

If you go beyond positive numbers, that changes. 0 is an integer, and has every integer, except itself, as factors; since its positive factors are greater than zero, there are factors of zero that are greater than zero. If you extend to include negative numbers, you always have both positive and negative factors; and since all positive integers are greater than all negative integers, all negative integers have factors that are greater than them.

Beyond zero, though, no integer has factors whose magnitudes are greater than its own. And that's a principle that can be extended even to the complex integers

Rationalize the denominator !!!
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

\frac{1\cdot \left(4+\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(4-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(4+\sqrt{3}\right)}\\

1\cdot \left(4+\sqrt{3}\right)=4+\sqrt{3}

\left(4-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(4+\sqrt{3}\right) = 13

= \frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{13}

x = 4

y = 3

z = 13
