If p and q are real numbers such that p>5 and q>4, what is the smallest integer larger than the product of pq?
a. 9
b. 10
c. 19
d. 20
e. 21
5*4 = 20
so, 21 is the next largest integer
This assumes that p and q are close to 5 and 4. If p=40.27 and q=95.154, 21 is not the next largest integer.
Why did the mathematician bring a ladder to the equation?
Because they wanted to find th
To find the smallest integer larger than the product of pq, we need to determine the value of pq first.
Given that p > 5 and q > 4, we know that p and q are positive.
To find the smallest value of pq, we take the smallest possible values of p and q.
Assuming p = 6 and q = 5, we can calculate the product of pq:
pq = 6 * 5 = 30
Therefore, the smallest integer larger than the product of pq would be the smallest integer larger than 30.
From the answer choices, we can see that the smallest integer larger than 30 is 31.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the given options.
To find the smallest integer larger than the product of pq, we first need to compute the product of pq. Since p>5 and q>4, we know that pq>5*4=20.
The product of pq is greater than 20. Now let's find the smallest integer larger than 20.
The smallest integer larger than 20 is 21.
Therefore, the answer is e. 21.
