The sum of 3 consecutive even numbers is 60. What are they?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

18, 20 and 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lowest number be n, then:

n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 60

3n + 6 = 60

3n = 54

n = 18.

So the other 2 are 20 and 22.

Find the solution of the square root of the quantity of x plus 2 plus 4 equals 8, and determine if it is an extraneous solution
Iteru [2.4K]

Consider the equation:

\sqrt{x+2}+4 = 8

Subtracting '4' from both the sides of the equation, we get as

\sqrt{x+2}+4-4= 8-4

\sqrt{x+2}= 4

Squaring on both the sides of the equation, we get

(\sqrt{x+2})^2 = (4)^2

x+2 = 16

Subtracting '2' from both the sides of the equation, we get

x+2-2=16-2

x=14

Since, An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all. But, in this equation x=14 is the solution of the given equation.

Hence, it is not an extraneous solution.

Suppose the mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches and the standard deviation is about 3 inches. Assume men’
nlexa [21]

Question options :

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.

c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.

d. None of the above.

Answer: a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :

Mean height = 70 inches

Standard deviation= 3 inches

According to the empirical rule ;

Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;

About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Using the empirical rule :

95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6

Upper limit = 2(3) = 6

(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)

(-6 + 70) and (6+70)

64 and 76
