If x is the first integer, then x+1 is the second. x(x+1)=132 or x^2+x-132=0. This factors as (x-11)(x+12)=0. Thus either x=11 or x=-12
<span>So either 11 and 12 or -12 and -11 will do.</span>
It’s -4 because you need to like distribute then add like terms, etc.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
I don't think you need the quadratic formula for this equation. It just factors into (b - 2)(b - 2), but I'll do it because you requested it.
Formula

Givens
a = 1
b = - 4
c = 4
Solution
x = - - 4 +/- sqrt((-4^2) - 4*1*4)
====================
2*1
x = 4 +/- sqrt (16 - 16)
==========
2
x = 4/2
x = 2
There are 2 roots but both of them are the same. Some teachers say there is only 1 root. I'm in that group.
Answer: The observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Expected ratio :
Ratio of blue flowered plants to white flowered plant = 3:1
Observed results:
Number of blue flowered plants = 35
Number of white flowered plants = 14
So, Ratio of blue flowered plants : white flowered plants

So, 5:2 ≠ 3:1
Hence, the observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.
