Find two consecutive even integers whose product is 288

1 answer:

6 0

So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.22 degrees Upper F 98.22°F and a standard deviati

Anna35 [415]

Answer: 0.00102%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of $\mu=98^{\circ}F$ and a standard deviation of $s=0.61^{\circ}F$

A hospital uses $100.6^{\circ}F$ as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

Let x be the random variable that represents the human body temperatures.

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{s}$

For x= 100.6, $z=\dfrac{100.6-98}{0.61}=4.26229508197\approx4.26$

Using normal distribution table for z-values for right-tailed area ,

P(x>100.6)= $P(Z>4.26)=0.0000102=0.00102\%$

Hence, the required probability = 0.00102%

Constant of Proportionality = d/t = 90/2 = 45 mph

In short, Constant of Proportionality would be: 45 miles per hour.

Here, d/t = 45
d = 45t

In short, Your Equation would be: d= 45t

Hope this helps!

For a finite sequence of nonzero numbers, the number of variations in sign is defined as the number of pairs of consecutive term

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The no. of variations in sign is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation in sign occurs when every single time a negative product is produced by a pair of consecutive terms.

Therefore, the determination of the number of changes in sign in the given sequence is must.

Therefore, we take the product of the pair of consecutive terms as:

$1\times (-3)$ = - 3, variation in sign
