The product of two consecutive integers is 72. Write a quadratic equation to find the integers, and then solve it.

ok so basically what you do is since you know they are consecutive numbers, one is x and the other is x+1. Now when you multiply x and x+1 you get 72 , so this basically turns into a quadratic where x(x+1)=72. Thus,X^2+x=72. subtract 72 from both sides- x^2+x-72=0. Then you can solve for x using the quadratic formula or some other way and you get x to be 8 or -9. OH WAIT THERE IS ANOTHER SOLUTION IT IS -9 AND -8. . Anyway yea hoped this helped.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

(0.2)+(-8)=0.3+-3+0.3m is the equation i guess? ?
