Find two consecutive positive integers such that the sum of their squares is 421 .

1 answer:

maria [59]3 years ago

We assume the two numbers are x and (x+1)
so x^2+(x+1)^2=421
x^2+(x^2+2x+1)=421
2x^2+2x-420=0
According to the formula of quadratic
x=14 or-15
cuz we know the two numbers are integers
so x=14
therefore the other number is 15
To make sure that's correct
14^2+15^2=421

Hope that helps you!!

frozen [14]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Sonya has 5 sandwiches.she cuts each sandwich into fourths

1 sandwich divided into four parts

four parts = ¹/₄

1/¹/₄= 1x ⁴/₁= 4

so 1 sandwich divided into four parts is 4

so if 1 is divided into four parts is 4

5 will 4 x 5 = 20

so it means there will 20 of ¹/₄ sandwich

If c+1/d=5 , what is the value of 30d/2c+2

klemol [59]

Answer:

3

$d\in R,\hspace{5}d\neq 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve for any variable. From the first equation, let's solve for c :

$\frac{c+1}{d} =5\\\\c+1=5d\\\\c=5d-1$

Now, replace the value of c into the other equation:

$\frac{30d}{2c+2} \\\\\frac{30d}{2(5d-1)+2} \\$

Using distributive property

$\frac{30d}{10d-2+2} =\frac{30d}{10d} =3$

However, keep in mind that this is true for:

$d\in R,\hspace{5}d\neq 0$
