Remark
We have to assume that there are only 3 consecutive integers.
Givens
Let the smallest integer = x
Let the middle integer = x + 1
Let the largest integer = x + 2
Formulas
4(x + 2)^2 - 3x^2 = 41+ 2*(x + 1)^2 Expand the brackets.
Solution
4(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 3x^2 = 41 + 2(x^2 + 2x + 1) Remove the brackets.
4x^2 + 16x + 16 - 3x^2 = 41 + 2x^2 + 4x + 2 Collect like terms on both sides
x^2 + 16x + 16 =2x^2 + 4x + 43 Subtract the left side from the right
0 = 2x^2 - x^2 - 16x + 4x - 16 + 43 Collect like terms.
0 = x^2 - 12x + 27 This factors
(x - 3) * (x - 9) = 0
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 or
x - 9 = 0
x = 9
Therefore numbers can be 3,4,5 or 9,10,11
We need to check both.
First group check.
Group One
4*5^2 - 3*3^2 = 41 + 2*4^2
4*25 - 3*9 = 41 + 2*16
100 - 27 = 41 + 32
73 = 73
Group one is correct.
Group Two
4*11^2 - 3*9^2 = 41 + 2*10^2
484 - 243 = 41 + 200
241 = 241 and the second group checks as well. So thee are two sets of answers.
3,4,5 and 9,10,11 <<<<<< Answer.
Note: You should put this in math.
B:providing industrial materials
Answer:
Also, because Earth formed as part of our sun's family of planets – our solar system – scientists use radiometric dating to determine the ages of extraterrestrial objects, such as meteorites. These are space rocks that once orbited our sun, but later entered Earth's atmosphere and struck our world's surface.
