Answer: The value of greater integers can be 19 or -18.

Quadratic equation used :x^2-x-342=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Two consecutive integers i.e. x and (x-1).

So, product of two consecutive integers = 342.

According to question, it becomes,

x(x-1)=342\\\\x^2-x=342\\\\x^2-x-342=0\\\\x^2-19x+18x-342=0\\\\x(x-19)+18(x-19)=0\\\\x-19=0\ or\ x+18=0\\\\x=19\ or\ x=-18

Hence , the value of greater integers can be 19 or -18.

Quadratic equation used :x^2-x-342=0

X(x-1)=342
x²-x=342
x²-x-342=0

In a standard game of pool, there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15. a) In how many ways can the 15 balls be ordered? (5 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>a) 1.308*10¹² ways</h2><h2>b) 455 way</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If  there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15 in a standard football game, the order of arrangement of the 15 balls can be done in 15! ways.

15! = 15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2

15! = 1.308*10¹² ways

b)  If 3 of the 15 balls are to be chosen if order does not matter, this can be done in 15C3 number of ways. Since we are selecting some balls out of the total number of balls, we will use the concept of combination.

Using the combination formula nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

15C3 = 15!/(15-3)!3!

15C3 = 15!/12!3!

15C3 = 15*14*13*12!/12!*6

15C3 = 15*14*13/6

15C3 = 455 ways

To get the length of each side,
use the distance formula with equation: 
Distance = ((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)^0.5 
Solving
<span>AB = 8 units   BC = 6 units AC = 10 units
</span><span>MN =8units    NO = 6 units MO = 10 units
</span><span>XY = 6.32 units   YZ = 6.32 units XZ = 8.94 units
</span>JK = 4.47 units    KL = 4.47 units JL = 6 units 

1 The right answer is the letter b) triangle ABC and Triangle MNO are Congruent <span>triangles
ABC and MNO  are triangles that have the same lengths of its three sides.

</span>2 The answer is the letter c) rotation
There is a rotation of 90º about ABC and MNO the origin is B=N
B=N

According to DeMorgan 's theorem, the complement of W · X + Y · Z is W' + X' · Y' + Z'. Yet both functions are 1 for WXYZ = 1110
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The parenthesis need to be kept intact while applying the DeMorgan's theorem on the original equation to find the compliment because otherwise it will introduce an error in the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to DeMorgan's Theorem:

(W.X + Y.Z)'

(W.X)' . (Y.Z)'

(W'+X') . (Y' + Z')

Note that it is important to keep the parenthesis intact while applying the DeMorgan's theorem.

For the original function:

(W . X + Y . Z)'

= (1 . 1 + 1 . 0)

= (1 + 0) = 1

For the compliment:

(W' + X') . (Y' + Z')

=(1' + 1') . (1' + 0')

=(0 + 0) . (0 + 1)

=0 . 1 = 0

Both functions are not 1 for the same input if we solve while keeping the parenthesis intact because that allows us to solve the operation inside the parenthesis first and then move on to the operator outside it.

Without the parenthesis the compliment equation looks like this:

W' + X' . Y' + Z'

1' + 1' . 1' + 0'

0 + 0 . 0 + 1

Here, the 'AND' operation will be considered first before the 'OR', resulting in 1 as the final answer.

Therefore, it is important to keep the parenthesis intact while applying DeMorgan's Theorem on the original equation or else it would produce an erroneous result.
