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}.

<em>Additional comment</em>

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.

you are given the measure of angle 4. You also know the following angles are supplementary: Angles 1 and 2, angles 2 and 3, angl
Harrizon [31]
If you are given the measure of angle 4, then we know angle 2 is equal since it is a vertical angle. The angle of a line is 180 degrees, so subtract the measure of angle 4 (and/or 2) which  will give you the angle measure for both angle 1 and 3, since those are also equal due to vertical angles. Hope that helped! :)
