The product of two consecutive positive integers is 56. Find the two integers

Mathematics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Two consecutive integers are of the form

x and x + 1

Their product is equal to 56

x(x + 1) = 56

Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows

x2 + x - 56 = 0

Factor and solve

(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0

solutions: x = 7 , x = -8

x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence

x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

What are the zeros of the function below?
Ivan
When you want to find zeros of rational expression you need to find at which points numerator is equal to zero. In this case, we have the product of three expressions.
x(x-1)(x+11)=0
A product is equal to zero whenever one of the factors is equal to zero. 
That means that zeros of our functions are:
1)x=0
2)x-1=0
x=1
3)x+11=0
x=-11
The final answer is a. Function has zeros at (0, 1, -11).

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3 /><h3>Amount = Rs 13891.50</h3><h3>Compound interest = Rs 1891.50</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

C = Amount (A) - Principal (P)

Where

C is the compound interest

To find the amount we use the formula

A = P ({1 +  \frac{r}{100} })^{n}

where

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the period / time

From the question

P = Rs 12, 000

r = 5%

n = 3 years

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

A = 12000 ({1 +  \frac{5}{100} })^{3}  \\ A = 12000(1 + 0.05)^{3}  \\ A = 12000 ({1.05})^{3}

We have the answer as

<h3>Amount = Rs 13891.50</h3>

Compound interest = 13891.50 - 12000

<h3>Compound interest = Rs 1891.50</h3>

Hope this helps you
