Algebra.Com's Answer #485030 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The product of five consecutive integers is 360 360 what is the mean of the five integers. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Not sure what 360 360 means \n" ); document.write( " but 5 consecutive integers with a product of 360 is impossible \n" ); document.write( "Find the 5th root of 360, it 3 decimal something so we know it's a low number \n" ); document.write( "2*3*4*5*6 = 720 \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "1*2*3*4*5 = 120 \n" ); document.write( "/////////////////////////////////////////// \n" ); document.write( "response to student comment, I should have realized that, anyway: \n" ); document.write( "Find the 5h root of 360,360 with a calc 360360^(1/5) = 12.9 \n" ); document.write( "try 13 as the middle digit 11*12*13*14*15 = 360,360 \n" ); document.write( " |
