Answer:
roots: 1 and 3
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2 roots: p and p+2
(x-p) (x-p-2) = x² - 4x + k
x² -2px -2x + p² + 2p = x² - 2 (p+1)x + (p² + 2p) = x² -4x + k
-2 (p+1) = -4
p+1 = 2
p = 1 ... root 1
p' = 1+2 = 3 ... root 2
k = p² + 2p = 3
check: (x-1) (x-3) = x² - 4x + 3 = x² - 4x + k
Footballs : basketballs = 2.5 : 1
(x 2)
footballs : basketballs = 5 : 2
⇒ basketballs : footballs = 2 : 5
Answer: <span>The ratio of basketballs to footballs is 5 : 2.</span>
<span>let x be the interval, then:
186 = 50 + 3 + (3+x) + (3+2x) + (3+3x) + (3+4x) + (3+5x) + (3+6x) + (3+7x)
186 = 74 + 28x
x = 4
Eldest son age = 3+7x = 3+28 = 31.</span>
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
If they saved £29 all together, and if each of them saved the same amount,
then each saved £29/4 = £7.25 or £7 and 25p.
(Before decimalization in 1971, £7.25 would have been £7 and 5s .)
