the product of two consecutive positive integer is 306​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 17 \ and \ 18}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The product means multiplication.

There are two positive consecutive integers.

Let the first positive consecutive integer be x.

Let the second positive consecutive integer be x+1.

[tex](x) \times (x+1) =306[/tex]

Solve for x.

Expand brackets.

[tex]x^2 +x =306[/tex]

Subtract 306 from both sides.

[tex]x^2 +x -306=306-306[/tex]

[tex]x^2 +x -306=0[/tex]

Factor left side of the equation.

[tex](x-17)(x+18)=0[/tex]

Set factors equal to 0.

[tex]x-17=0[/tex]

[tex]x=17[/tex]

[tex]x+18=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-18[/tex]

The value of x cannot be negative.

Substitute x=17 for the second consecutive positive integer.

[tex](17)+1[/tex]

[tex]18[/tex]

The two integers are 17 and 18.

Answer 2

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306.

We need to find the integers

solution : Let two consecutive numbers are x and (x + 1)

A/C to question,

product of x and (x + 1) = 306

⇒x(x + 1) = 306

⇒x² + x - 306 = 0

⇒ x² + 18x - 17x - 306 = 0

⇒x(x + 18) - 17(x + 18) = 0

⇒(x + 18)(x - 17) = 0⇒ x = 17 and -18

so x = 17 and (x +1) = 18

Therefore the numbers are 17 and 18.

A major traffic problem in the Greater Cincinnati area involves traffic attempting to cross the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Kentucky using Interstate 75. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.9 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.6. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes.Required:a. Assume that you are a motorist entering the traffic system and receive a radio report of a traffic delay. What is the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state?b. What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state?c. An important assumption of the Markov process model presented here has been the constant or stationary transition probabilities as the system operates in the future. Do you believe this assumption should be questioned for this traffic problem? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.36

b) 0.3

c) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period = P(No_Delay) = 0.9

Probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period = P(Delay) = 0.6

Period considered = 30 minutes

a)

Let A be the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state:

As the Probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period is 0.6 and one period is considered as 30 minutes.

So probability that for the next two time periods i.e. 30*2 = 60 minutes, the system in Delay is

P(A) = P(Delay) * P(Delay) =  0.6 * 0.6 = 0.36

b)

Let B be the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state.

This statement means that the traffic will not be in Delay state but be in No_Delay state in long run.

Let C be the probability of one period in Delay state given that preceding period in No-delay state :

P(C) =  1 - P(No_Delay)

        = 1 - 0.9

P(C) = 0.1

Now using P(C) and P(Delay) we can compute P(B) as:

P(B) = 1 - (P(Delay) + P(C))

      = 1 - ( 0.6 + 0.10 )

      = 1 - 0.7

P(B) = 0.3

c)

Yes this assumption should be questioned for this traffic problem because it implies that  traffic will be in Delay state for the 30 minutes and just after 30 minutes, it will be in No_Delay state. However, traffic does not work like this in general and it makes this scenario unrealistic. Markov process model can be improved if probabilities are modeled as a function of time instead of being presented as constant (for 30 mins).

If SSR is 2592 and SSE is 608, then A. the standard error would be large. B. the coefficient of determination is .23. C. the slope is likely to be insignificant. D. the coefficient of determination is .81.

Answers

Answer:

D. the coefficient of determination is .81.

Step-by-step explanation:

SST = SSE + SSR

where

SST is the summation of square total

SSE is the summation of squared error estimate = 608

SSR is the summation of square of residual = 2593

with these in mind we put the values into the formula

= 2592 + 608

=3200

Coefficient of determination = SSR/SST

= 2592/3200

= 0.81

Therefore option D is the correct answer to the question.

120 meals to 52 meals what is the percentage change?

Answers

Answer: The percentage change is 56.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 120 meals to 52 meals, change in meals = ( 120- 52) meals

= 68 meals

The percentage change = [tex]\dfrac{\text{change in meals}}{\text{Original quantity of meals}}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{68}{120}\times100\\\\=56.67\%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage change is 56.67%.

Suppose a vine maple grows in height linearly. Four weeks after it is planted it stands 10.67 inches, and after seven weeks it is 15.67 inches tall. Write an equation that models the growth, in inches, of the vine maple as a function of time, in weeks. 1. What is the slope of the function? 2. How tall was the tree when it was first planted? 3. Write the function 4. How tall will the vine maple be after 16 weeks?

Answers

Answer:

Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

Where z is the number of weeks

1). Slope = 4

2). Height= 5.67 inches

3).Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

4).Height= 30.67 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

At week four

10.67= x+4y

Week 7

15.67= x+7y

Solving both equation simultaneously

3y= 5

Y= 5/3

15.67= x+7y

15.67= x+7(5/3)

15.67-35/3= x

15.67-11.67= x

4= x

The modeled equation is

Height (z)= 4+5/3(z)

Where z is the number of weeks

Slope of the function as compared to y= mx+c is 4

The first week of it's plantation

Height (z)= 4+5/3(z)

Height (1)= 4+5/3(1)

Height= 5.67 inches

After 16 weeks

Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

Height (16)= 4+(5/3)(16)

Height= 30.67 inches

find the equation of the sides of an isosceles right angled triangle whose vertex is (-2,-3) and the base is on the line x=0​

Answers

Answer:

AC:y=x-1  CB:y=-x-5 AB:x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangle. The base AB is on the line x=0, the vertex C is (-2,-3)

The side AC is equal to BC. The angle ACB is 90 degrees. If the base is on the line x=o, it is on the axis Y.Explore the distance from the point C to the AB

c(-2,-3), the distance to the axis Y is equal to the modul of the coordinate x (-2), it is 2. The coordinates of point projected by the point C to the axis Y is N(0,-3). The modul of the height is 2, the height of the isosceles triangle to the base is the bisectrix, so the angle BCA is 90/2=45degrees, CBA is 180-90-45=45 degrees too

the heigt CN is equal to side NB, NB=2

Suppose B is (0,y) (x=0 because the base is on this line)

THe modul of the vector NB is equal to sqrt ((0-0)^2+(y+3)^2)= 2

modul (y+3)= 2

y=-1 or y=-5

(0,-1), (0,-5) - two points, one of them (suppose B) is (0,-5) when A is (0,-1) (A is remote from the point N on the same distance with B, because AB is the median too)

Find CB and AC

Use the equation for AC

(x-0)/(-2-0)= (y+1)/(-3+1)

x/-2= (y+1)/-2

x=y+1

y=x-1

For CB

(x-0)/ (-2-0)= (y+5)/ (-3-(-5))

x/-2= (y+5)/2

-x=y+5

y=-x-5

Y=-×+1 and y=2×+4 how many solutions when graphed

Answers

Answer:

One solution (-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two linear equations have different slopes, different y-intercepts, and are indeed linear, these equations will only have one crossing when graphed, and hence one solution.

To find that solution, we can simply set the equations equal to each other.

y = -x + 1

y = 2x + 4

-x + 1 = 2x + 4

-3 = 3x

-1 = x

Now plug that value back into one of the equations:

y = -x + 1

y = -(-1) + 1

y = 2

So now you know the crossing for these two equations occurs at (-1,2).
