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

Mathematics
1 answer:
vredina [299]2 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.

What are the two plot lines for this
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

You can plot the lines by putting the values of x and y.

For y=x-2, if we put x= 2, then we got y=0

So, the point for this equation will be (2,0). Similarly, you can get many points for the equations and join them to plot lines in the graph.
