Find the second of two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 798

1 answer:

7 0

To set up consecutive even integers you use x for the first integer and x + 2 for the second integer. You add 2 since you are going to the next EVEN instead of just the next integer. Now we set up an equation = 798 and solve.
x + x + 2 = 798
2x + 2 = 798
subtract -2 from both sides
2x = 796
divide by 2 on both sides
x = 398
x + 2 = 398 + 2 = 400
CHECK 398 + 400 = 798

A sequence has an initial value (I) of -17 and its fourth term (a4) is 35. What is its general equation? Its 14th term?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

The sequence is an Arthemtic Progression

An=A1+(n-1)d

A1 is first term, An is nth term, n is number of term, and d is common difference

therefore

A4=35, A1= -17

A4=A1+(4-1)d

35= -17+3d

35+17=3d

52=3d

52/3=3d/3

14=d

common diffrence(d)=14

The general solution is given by

An= -17+(n-1)14

An= -17+14n-14

An= -31+14n

An= 14n-31

A14 term, means n=14

From An=A1+(n-1)d

A14= -17+(14-1)14

= -17+(13×14)

= -17+182

= 165.

Therfore, the 14th term is 165.

2. A sequence has a CR of 4/5 and its eighth term (a8) is (393216/3125). What is its general equation? Its 3rd term?

solution

common ratio(r)=4/5

eighth term(G8)=393216/3125

From Gn= G1r^(n-1)

G8 means n=8

G8=G1r^(n-1)

393216/3125=G1(4/5)^(8-1)

393216/3125=G1(4/5)^7

G1=(393216/3125)/(4/5)^7

G1=600

The first term is given by G1=600

Therefore

The General equation is given by

The General equation is given by Gn= 600(4/5)^(n-1)

3rd term (G3)

G3= G1(4/5)^(3-1) where n=3,

=600(4/5)^2

=600(16/25)

=384

Therefore, the 3rd term is given by G3= 384.

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f

Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x² - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.

If a+b=9 and ab=18,find the value of a and b.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Given:

a + b = 9

=> a = 9 - b

Given:

a x b = 18

=> (9 - b) x b = 18

=> 9b - b^2 = 18

=> b^2 - 9b + 18 = 0

=> (b - 3)(b - 6) = 0

=> b = 3 => a = 6

=> b = 6 => a = 3

Hope this helps

Complete the sentences below the radius of a circle is _____ the length of its diameter. the diameter of a circle is ______ the

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Half; twice

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle, the radius is said to be the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the edge of the circle, it is denoted as "r". The radius is called a radii if it is more than one.. The radius of a circle is half the length of the diameter of a circle because the diameter of a circle is the distance of the line that passes through the center of a circle touching both edges of the circle. It is denoted as "d".

Thus,

2r = d

r = d/2

For example, if the radius of a circle is 10cm, the diameter of the circle will be calculated as: d = 2 * 10 = 20cm. Which means if the radius is 10cm, diameter will be 20cm.

Therefore, the radius of a circle is half the length of its diameter. the diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius
