Its a we know its this cause its rational and if its a rational number it is also an integer and a whole number
Answer:
90, 91 and 92
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Consecutive integers = 273
Required
Find the integers
The question seem to be incomplete. However, I'll assume we're dealing with sum.
Let the smallest integer be y.
So,
y + y + 1 + y + 2 = 273
Collect like terms.
y + y + y = 273 - 2 - 1
3y = 270
Divide both sides by 3
y = 90
Hence, the integers are 90, 91 and 92
When you read this, the first thing that should jump out at you is:
What does "largest" mean ?
Does it mean the longest possible playground ? The widest possible ?
The playground with the most possible area ?
Well, we can narrow it down right away. If you try and find the longest
or the widest possible playground, then what you get is: The longest or
the widest possible playground is 250 feet by zero. It has a perimeter
of 500 ft, and nobody can play in it. That's silly.
It makes a lot more sense if we look for the playground that has
the greatest AREA.
I happen to remember that if you have a certain fixed amount of
fence and you want to use it to enclose the most possible area,
then you should form it into a circle. And if it has to be a rectangle,
then the next most area will be enclosed when you form it into a square.
So you want to take your 500 feet of fence and make a playground
that's 125-ft long and 125-ft wide.
Its area is (125-ft x 125-ft) = 15,625 square feet.
Just to make sure that a square is the right answer, let's test
what we would have if we made it not quite square ... let's say
1 foot longer and 1 foot narrower:
Length = 126 feet
Width = 124 feet
Perimeter = 2 (126 + 124) = 500-ft good
Area = (126-ft x 124-ft) = 15,624 square feet.
Do you see what happened ? We kept the same perimeter, but
as soon as we started to make it not-square, the area started to
decrease.
The square is the rectangle with the most possible area.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You could factor this to find out how many real roots you have, but it's easier to use the rule of the discriminate. The discriminate comes from the quadratic formula:
Plug in the numbers from the quadratic and see what the value of it is. If the:
discriminate < 0, you have 2 imaginary roots
discriminate = 0, you have 1 real root, multiplicity 2 and
discriminate > 0, you have 2 real roots
Our b is 8, our a is 6 and our c is -7 (remember you have to set the polynomial equal to 0 to do this).
Because 232 is > 0, we have 2 real roots.
