Mathematics Question on Quadratic Equations
A triangle is formed by X-axis, Y-axis and the line 3x+4y=60 Then the number of points P(n,b) which lie strictly inside the triangle, where a is an integer and b is a multiple of a, is ____
Answer
The correct answer is 31
(1,1)(1,2)−(1,14)⇒14 pts.
If x=2,y=227=13.5
(2,2)(2,4)…(2,12)⇒6 pts.
If x=3,y=451=12.75
(3,3)(3,6)−(3,12)⇒4 pts.
If x=4,y=12
(4,4)(4,8)⇒2 pts.
If x=5⋅y=445=11.25
(5,5),(5,10)⇒2 pts.
If x=6,y=221=10.5
(6,6)⇒1pt
If x=7,y=439=9.75
(7,7)⇒1pt
If x=8,y=9
(8,8)⇒1pt
If x=9y=433=8.25⇒ no pt.
Total =31 pts.
