The product of two consecutive integers is 72. The equation x(x + 1) = 72 represents the situation, where x
represents the smaller integer. Which equation can be factored and solved for the smaller integer?
O
x2 + x - 72 = 0
x2+x+ 720
x2 + 2x - 72 = 0
x2 + 2x + 72 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the equation  is :  x2 + x - 72 = 0

(x+9)(x-8) =0

x-8 = 0   because x+9≠0  ( x is : integer number)

the smaller integer is:8

answer: a and b

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is going down by 4

step-by-step explanation:

(its either that or its going left by 4)
