Answer:
8, 10, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
For finding real solutions to cubic equations and those of higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be useful. The problem can be cast in the form ...
f(x) = 0
where f(x) is the difference between the product of the integers and 240:
f(x) = x(x +2)(x -5) -240
Then all we need to do is ask the calculator to show the x-intercept. It is x=8.
So, the three integers are ...
- x = 8
- x+2 = 10
- x -5 = 3
Answer:
5.13 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the full dimensions of flag #1, and we have the partial dimensions of flag #2, which should follow the same ratio as flag #1, since not indicated otherwise.
When you need to compare dimensions like that, the easiest way to proceed is to do a cross-multiplication. Let's say x is the length of flag #2 we're looking for. It's ratio over the width of flag #2 will be the same as the ratio of the length of flag #1 over its width, so:
If we isolate x, we have x = (2.7 * 1.9) / 1 = 5.13 feet
Which makes sense since we know the result should be a bit less than 2.7 times 2.
