<u>Answer</u>

6


<u>Explanation</u>

let n be the first even number in the sequence.

The 2nd term = n + 2

       3rd term = n + 2 + 2

                       = n + 4

    4th term = n + 4 + 2

                   = n + 6

The sum of these number = 36.

∴ n + (n +2) + (n + 4) + (n + 6) = 36

 4n + 12 = 36

 4n = 36 - 12

 4n = 24

n = 24/4

  = 6

The first term is 6.

Which is the best interpretation of the solution set for the compound inequality?
saw5 [17]

For this case we must find the solution set of the given inequalities:

Inequality 1:

3 (2x + 1)> 21

Applying distributive property on the left side of inequality:

6x + 3> 21

Subtracting 3 from both sides of the inequality:

6x> 21-3\\6x> 18

Dividing by 6 on both sides of the inequality:

x> \frac {18} {6}\\x> 3

Thus, the solution is given by all the values of "x" greater than 3.

Inequality 2:

4x + 3

Subtracting 3x from both sides of the inequality:

4x-3x + 3

Subtracting 3 from both sides of the inequality:

x

Thus, the solution is given by all values of x less than 4.

The solution set is given by the union of the two solutions, that is, all real numbers.

Answer:

All real numbers

g A program executes a mix of different instruction types. 25% of the instructions require two clock cycles to execute, 20% requ
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1.8 cycles

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of clock cycles per instruction is given by the sum of the product of each possible number of cycles by its likelihood.

1 cycle: 50%

2 cycles : 25%

3 cycles : 20%

4 cycles : 5%

Avg = 0.5*1+0.25*2+0.20*3+0.05*4\\Avg= 1.8\ cycles

The average number of clock cycles per instruction is 1.8.

What is the range of this function ?
VashaNatasha [74]
If we are only using the values in the table, then the answer is D. 

This is because the highest value of y is 40 and the lowest is 37.75. So we must know that y is between these two. 

However, if we are using this table as a long term model, then C is the correct answer. We know there is 40 to start and it will continue going down until it hits 0.
