This ones a bit of a trick question, since whether the integers are even or odd doesn't really matter. What does matter, is that consecutive odd integers are 2 numbers apart (as are consecutive even integers).
So again, if the first of the odd integers is the variable n
the consecutive odd integers after it can be written as:
n+2 , n+4, etc...
So the sum of four consecutive odd integers can be written as:
sum = n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6)
Simplify:
sum = 4n + 12
And finally rearrange to solve for n:
= n
This can also be written as:
- 3 = n
Whichever way you prefer.
Answer:
the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin
Step-by-step explanation:
the total cost of making the muffins is
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost = $300 + $0.12 / muffin *Q
where Q = number of muffins
the average cost is
Average cost = Total cost / number of muffins = ($300 + $0.12 *Q) / Q = $300/Q + $0.12 / muffin
then for Average cost= $0.25/muffin
$300/Q + $0.12 / muffin = $0.25/muffin
Q = $300 / ( $0.25/muffin- $0.12 / muffin ) = 2307.69 muffins ≈ 2307 muffins ( we are rounding down since we want to find the number before the cost goes below 0.25)
then the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin
Answer:
x = 0.5y^2 - 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x=y^2-10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 0.5y^2 - 5
V = lwh
48 = 8 x 2 x h = 16h
h = 48/16 = 3
height = 3 inches.
