Three consecutive odd integers have a sum of 51. what is the smallest integer

Mathematics

nalin [4]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2n+1 be the first odd integer.

Therefore, the consecutive odd integers will be 2n+3 and 2n+5

If the sum of the consecutive odd integers is 51 then:

⇒ 2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 51

⇒ 6n + 9 = 51

⇒ 6n = 42

⇒ n = 7

To find the values of the integers, substitute the found value of n into the expressions:

  • First integer:       2(7) + 1 = 15
  • Second integer:  2(7) + 3 = 17
  • Third integer:      2(7) + 5 = 19

Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers that sum to 51 are <u>15, 17 and 19</u>.  The smallest of which is 15.

Let f(x)=81+3e−0.7x .
Dmitry [639]
The value of f(3) can be calculating by putting the variable x equal to 3 , x=3 which gives:
f(3)=81+3e-0.7*3=81+3e-2.1
But there is one more unknown in the equation e. e is a constant called Euler's number, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. 
e=2.7182818284590.....
Rounding to the nearest hundredth the thousandths place is used to determine whether the hundredths place rounds up or stays the same.
Rounding the Euler's constant to the nearest hundredths gives: 
e=2.72 
So, f(3)=81+3*2.72-2.1=81+8.16-2.1=87.06

AnnyKZ [126]

A) The original claim in symbolic form is; p > 0.50

B) The Null Hypothesis is;

H₀: p = 0.50

Alternative Hypothesis is;

H_a: p > 0.50

<h3>How to identify the hypothesis claim?</h3>

We are given;

Sample size; n = 576

Sample Proportion; p^ = 59% = 0.59

A) The percentage of 59% represents the proportion of a sample and thus we are making a claim about the population proportion p in the hypotheses.

We claim "most of the adults", which indicates more than 50% or 0.50. Thus, the claim in symbolic form is; p > 0.50

B) The Null Hypothesis is;

H₀: p = 0.50

Alternative Hypothesis is;

H_a: p > 0.50

Digiron [165]

Answer:

D: 2f+15

Step-by-step explanation:

f is the number of stamps from France that Carlotta owns.

Twice this amount is 2f

Then, 15 more than twice this amount is 2f + 15, and this is the expression that represents the number of American stamps that Carlotta owns
