Let
x---------> first positive integer
x+1------> second positive integer
x+2-----> third positive integer
we know that
(x+1)*(x+2)=72-------> x² +2x+x+2=72 -------> x² +3x-70=0
using a graph tool-------> <span>I solve the quadratic equation
</span>see the attached figure
the roots are
x1=-10
x2=7
the answer is
first positive integer is x=7
second positive integer is x+1=8
third positive integer is x+2=9
Answer:
The length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .
Option (A) is correct .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
The angle looking up at the sun is 70°.
A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft .
Now by using the trignometric identity .



BC = 15 ft
tan 70° = 2.75 (Approx)

AB = 2.75 × 15
= 41.2 ft
Therefore the length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .
Option (A) is correct .
