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: x=52.6°

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]

[tex]x=52.6[/tex]

Now, we know that x=52.6°.

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.

What is Two way Frequency?

Two-way frequency tables show the potential connections between two sets of categorical data visually. The table's four (or more) inside cells contain the frequency (count) data, which is displayed above and to the left of the table's designated categories.

We have been the information 25 students play an instrument 20 are in a band 30 are not in a band.

So, the two way table is:

                                     Band            Not in Band       Total

Play instrument                20                   5                     25

Do not play instrument     0                     25                 25

Total                                  20                    30                50

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:

87 86 98 91 95

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

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.


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

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

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.
