the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 42. what is the smallest of these numbers

Answers

Answer 1
Explanation :-

Let's assume the lowest integer be x.Then the next integer x+2 (since our integers need to be even) and the third integer x+4.

[tex]\qquad[/tex]____________________

It’s given

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 42.

[tex] \bf{\underline{\underline{\dag According\ to\ the\ question:-}}} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \pink{\bf\longrightarrow {x+( x +2)+(x+4) = 42} }[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 3x +6 =42[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 3x = 42-6[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 3x =36[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow x = \cancel {\dfrac{36}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\pink{ \bf\longrightarrow x = 12}[/tex] ( which is our lowest integer.)

The smallest of these numbers is 12. And the next two integers we find with 12+2=14 and 12+4=16.

Answer 2

Given :

Sum of three consecutive even numbers is 42. We are to find the smallest of the smallest consecutive even number.

[tex] \: [/tex]

Solution :

Let us assume the three consecutive even numbers be "x" , "(x + 2)" and "(x + 4)" . Here x is the smallest number .

So,

According to the Question :

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 42

⇢x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 42

⇢ x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 42

⇢ 3x + 6 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = 42

⇢ 3x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 42 - 6

⇢ 3x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 36

⇢ x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 36/3

⇢ x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = 12

Hence, 12 is the smallest consecutive even number.

Answer:

The idea is to transform the expression by multiplying [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] with its conjugate, [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x})[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

For any real number [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex], [tex](a + b)\, (a - b) = a^{2} - b^{2}[/tex].

The factor [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] is irrational. However, when multiplied with its square root conjugate [tex](\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x})[/tex], the product would become rational:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \, (\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}) \\ &= (\sqrt{x + 1})^{2} -(\sqrt{x})^{2} \\ &= (x + 1) - (x) = 1\end{aligned}[/tex].

The idea is to multiply [tex]\sqrt{x}\, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})[/tex] by [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}[/tex] so as to make it easier to take the limit.

Since [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} = 1[/tex], multiplying the expression by this fraction would not change the value of the original expression.

[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \left[\sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x})\cdot \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}\right] \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}\, ((x + 1) - x)}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The order of [tex]x[/tex] in both the numerator and the denominator are now both [tex](1/2)[/tex]. Hence, dividing both the numerator and the denominator by [tex]x^{(1/2)}[/tex] (same as [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]) would ensure that all but the constant terms would approach [tex]0[/tex] under this limit:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \cdots\\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x} / \sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x + 1} / \sqrt{x}) + (\sqrt{x} / \sqrt{x})} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{(x / x) + (1 / x)} + 1} \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (1/x)} + 1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

By continuity:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} \, (\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}) \\ &= \cdots\\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1}+ \sqrt{x}} \\ &= \cdots \\ &= \lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (1/x)} + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \lim\limits_{x \to \infty}(1/x)} + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{1 + 1} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x}*(\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x} ) \\\\\\= \lim_{x \to \infty}\dfrac{ \sqrt{x}*(\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x} )*(\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x} )}{\sqrt{x+1} +\sqrt{x} } \\\\= \lim_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{\sqrt{x} *1}{\sqrt{x+1} +\sqrt{x} } \\\\\\= \lim_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{1} {\sqrt {\dfrac {x+1} {x} }+\sqrt{\dfrac{x}{x} } } \\\\\\=\dfrac{1} {\sqrt {1}+\sqrt{1} } \\\\\\=\dfrac{1} {2} \\[/tex]

Answer:

A''(-1, 2)B''(3, 5)C''(4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over the line x=a is the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (2a -x, y)

Then the double reflection over x=a and x=b is the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (2b -(2a -x), y) = (2(b-a) +x, y)

That is, the result is translation by twice the distance between the lines. For a=1 and b=3, the transformation is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (x +4, y) . . . . . . . translation to the right by 4 units.

  A(-5, 2) ⇒ A''(-1, 2)

  B(-1, 5) ⇒ B''(3, 5)

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?
- 4x3 - 4x2 +24 x
O A. -4(x2-2)(x+3)
B. -4(x2 + 2)(x+3)
O C. -4x(x + 2)(x+3)
D. -4x(x - 2)(x+3)

Answers

Answer:

D. -4x(x - 2)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following trinomial:

[tex]-4x^3 - 4x^2 + 24x[/tex]

-4x is the common term, so:

[tex]-4x(\frac{-4x^3}{-4x} - \frac{4x^2}{-4x^3} + \frac{24x}{-4x}) = -4x(x^2+x-6)[/tex]

The second degree polynomial can also be factored, finding it's roots.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

x² + x - 6

Quadratic equation with [tex]a = 1, b = 1, c = -6[/tex]

So

[tex]\Delta = 1^{2} - 4(1)(-6) = 25[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{25}}{2} = 2[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{25}}{2} = -3[/tex]

So

[tex]x^2 + x - 6 = (x - 2)(x - (-3)) = (x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

The complete factorization is:

[tex]-4x(x^2+x-6) = -4x(x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

Thus the correct answer is given by option d.

If g(x)=x+1/x-2 and h(x) = 4 – x, what is the value of (9*h)(-3)?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (g·h)(-3) = 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  g(x) = (x +1)/(x -2)

  h(x) = 4 -x

Find:

  (g·h)(x) = g(x) × h(x)   for x = -3

Solution:

  g(-3) = (-3+1)/(-3-2) = -2/-5 = 2/5

  h(-3) = 4 -(-3) = 4 +3 = 7

Then the product is ...

  g(-3)·h(-3) = (2/5)(7) = 14/5 = 2.8

  (g·h)(-3) = 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we have to use our SOHCAHTOA. We can eliminate sine and cosine because both uses hypotenuse, which is not labelled. Therefore, we use tangent.

[tex]tan(x)=\frac{17}{13}[/tex]

To find x, we want to use inverse tangent.

[tex]x=tan^{-1}(\frac{17}{13} )[/tex]      [plug into calculator]

given that the following two are geometric series are convergent: 1+x+x^2+x^3+...and 1-x+x^2-x^3+... determine the value(s) of x for which the sum of the two series is equal to 8​

Answers

Let S and T denote the two finite sums,

S = 1 + x + x ² + x ³ + … + x

T = 1 - x + x ² - x ³ + … + (-x) ᴺ

• If both S = 8 and T = 8 as N goes to infinity:

Then

xS = x + x ² + x ³ + x ⁴ + … + x ᴺ⁺¹

-xT = -x + x ² - x ³ + x ⁴ + … + (-x) ᴺ⁺¹

so that

S - xS = 1 - x ᴺ⁺¹   ==>   S = (1 - x ᴺ⁺¹)/(1 - x)

and similarly,

T = (1 - (-x) ᴺ⁺¹)/(1 + x)

For both sums, so long as |x| < 1, we have

lim [N → ∞] S = 1/(1 - x)

lim [N → ∞] T = 1/(1 + x)

Then if both sums converge to 8, this happens for

S : 1/(1 - x) = 8   ==>   x = 7/8

T : 1/(1 + x) = 8   ==>   x = -7/8

• If the sum S + T = 8 as N goes to infinity:

From the previous results, we have

1/(1 - x) + 1/(1 + x) = 8   ==>   x = ±√3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data:

This year :

35, 45, 53, 57, 61, 65, 67, 69, 70, 71, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77, 80, 81, 82, 83, 87, 90, 93, 95, 99

Mean = ΣX / n = 1825 / 25 = 73

The mode = 71 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 73

10 years ago :

51, 55, 56, 59, 65, 67, 68, 69, 69, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 79, 79, 79, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 91, 95, 98

Mean = ΣX / n = 1902 / 25 = 76.08

The mode = 79 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 77

According to the computed statistics, we can conclude that, today is worse than the past as the average score which is almost similar to the median value is higher 10 years ago and the modal score is better 10 years ago as well.
