Answer:

Two consecutive numbers cubes differ by 271. Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x + 1. The difference of the two consecutive numbers is 271. ( x + 1 ) ^3 - x ^3 = 271. 1 + 3 x ^ 2 + 3 x - 271 = 0.

Answer:

  9, 10  or  -10, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller of the two numbers. Then x+1 is the larger, and their difference is ...

  (x +1)³ -x³ = 271

  x³ +3x² +3x +1 -x³ = 271

  3x² +3x -270 = 0 . . . . . . simplify

  x² +x -90 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  (x +10)(x -9) = 0 . . . . . factor

The two solutions are x = -10, x = 9.

The numbers could be {-10, -9} or {9, 10}.

Solutions to a factored polynomial are the values of the variable that make the factors zero. The product will only be zero if a factor is zero.

The factor (x -a) is zero when x=a.

aev [14]

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(|x+4|+3)=6

take out absolute value

2(x+4+3)=6

remove parrenthesis

2x+8+6=6

Simplify

2x+14=6

    -14  -14

2x=-8

x=-4

You went shopping and found a pair of shoes that were $45.00 on sale for $27.50. what was the percent of decrease of the shoes?
Mandarinka [93]
Percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number....* 100
                             = (45 - 27.5) / 45.....* 100
                             = 17.5 / 45....* 100
                             = 0.3888 * 100 
                             = 38.9 % decrease <== thats rounded

Evaluate 3 to the 2nd power + (6 - 2) x 4- 6 over 3
exis [7]

Answer:

19/3 or 6.33 continuing

Step-by-step explanation:

using pemdas, do the exponent first

6-2=4

then multiply by 4

4x4 is 16

add 3^2 to this, which = 9

so 16+9-6 is on top which equals 19, this is over 3

so 19/3

Im confused, can someone help?
Bumek [7]
Well, the y-intercept is represented by B. So b would be the dot crossing the y-axis in each graph (which you already circled). Next, the slope for top left is: -1.5, top right is: -1.7, bottom left is: 3, and bottom right is: 1.33. I got those by using this very helpful website named Desmos. Now, I’m order to write the equation for each graph is very simple, all you have to do is put in the slope and y-intercept into the equation. For example, the top left one would be:
y = -1.5x + 4 since we know that the slope is equal to -1.5 and the y-intercept is equal to 4. Hope this helps :)
