One of the two positive integers is 5 less than the other. If the product of the two integers is 24, find the integers.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

3,8

Discussion:

Let "n" and "p" be the two positive integers. Then

n = p - 5   (*)

and

np = 24  (**)

Substituting  (*) in (**) gives

np = 24                            =>    as  p = n+5

n(n+5) = 24                      =>

n^2 + 5n - 24 = 0             =>   factor polynomial (n+8)(n-3)

So n = 3 or -8 but as n is positive, n = 3 Then p  = n + 5 = 8

Check:

Is n (3) 5 less than p (8). Yes

Does np = 3 *8 24. Yes

Thank you,

MrB

Factor completely 2x2 − 18

Answers

The factorized form of the expression using the difference of two square is  2(x+3)(x-3)

Factorizing functions

Given the following function expressed as 2x^2 - 18

Factor out the GCF

2(x^2 - 9)

This can be written as

2(x^2 - 3^2)

According to the difference of two square, a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

Simplify

2(x^2-3^2) = 2(x+3)(x-3)

Question:How can check your solution by writing the system as a matrix equation and using the inverse matrix?.

Answers

Your matrix would be made up of the coefficients in your equation. And it will be something like this:[3         2
 2       −4
]     
=  (14
                           4
)
The left side can be called your "A" matrix. I gave you the idea so that you may continue with it. Hope this can help

Final answer:

To check the solution, represent the system of equations as a matrix equation, find the inverse of the coefficient matrix, and multiply both sides of the equation by the inverse.

Explanation:

To check the solution by writing the system as a matrix equation and using the inverse matrix, we need to represent the system of equations as a matrix equation. Let's consider the given system of equations:

3x + 2y = 14

2x - 4y = 4

To do this, we can write the coefficients and constants of the system of equations as matrices:

[3 2] [x] = [14]

[2 -4] [y] = [4]

Now, we can write the system of equations as a matrix equation: AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix.

Next, we need to find the inverse of matrix A. If the inverse exists, we can multiply both sides of the matrix equation by the inverse of A to find the solution for X.

If we find the inverse of A and multiply both sides of the equation by the inverse, we get:

X = A-1B

Substituting the values of A-1 and B, we can find X, which represents the solution to the system of equations. Therefore, we can check our solution by writing the system as a matrix equation and using the inverse matrix.

A rectangle is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if it is perimeter is 56 cm.I need a help with this question plz and what are the steps to find the right answer!!

Answers

perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
or, 56 = 2(2.5 breadth + breadth)
or, 56 = 7*breadth
breadth = 56*7 = 8 cm
length = 2.5*8 = 20 cm
