The sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is 39. what are the integers?

1 answer:

4 0

Suppose the first odd integer is x, the next one will be x+2, the third one will be x+4
add up these three integers, you will have 3x+6=39
3x=33
x=11
the three consecutive odd integers are 11,13,15

Steven wants to increase the number of books he reads per year. He currently reads 2 books a year. He wants to triple the number

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$B=2\times 3^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growing </u>

Steven currently reads 2 books a year. He wants to triple the number of books read per year. The first year he should read

$2*3 = 6\ books$

By the second year, he should read

$2*3^2 = 18\ books$

By the third year, he should read

$2*3^3 = 54\ books$

We can clearly see there is a geometric progression of the number of books he should read for the year n. The general formula is, being B the number of books read at the year n

$\boxed{B=2\times 3^n}$

Let's call our number <em>x</em>.

So we can setup the equation x² = 100.

To solve this equation, we square root both sides.

So we have x = ±10.

Always use plus or minus when square rooting both sides

of an equation so our answer is not only 10, it's also -10.

Chloe and Libby want to tie Ryan to a bunch of approximately spherical helium balloons of diameter 0.3m. The volume of each ball

dem82 [27]

Answer: Aproximately 2,525 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the volume of a balloon with the formula given in the problem, where $r$ is the radius ( $r=\frac{0.3m}{2}=0.15m$ ), then:

$V=4(0.15m)^{3}=0.0135m^{3}$

2. Convert the volume from m³ to lliters by multiplying it by 1,000:

$V=0.0135m^{3}*1000=13.5L$

3. You know that that 1 liter of helium can lift 1 gram and that Ryan weighs 5 stone and 5 pounds. So you must make the following conversions:

1 g=0.0022 lb

From 5 stones to pounds

$(5stone)(\frac{14pounds}{1stone})=70pounds=70lbs$

4. Then Ryan's weigh is:

5lb+70lb=75lb

5. Then, if 1 liter of helium can lift 0.0022 lb, to lift 75 lb (which is the weight of Ryan) they need:

$\frac{75lb*1L}{0.0022lb}=34,090.90L$

6. Then, to calculate the aproximated number of balloons they need to make him float (which can call $n$ ), you must divide the liters of helium needed to lift the weight of Ryan by the volume of a balloon, then the result is:

$n=\frac{34,090.90L}{13.5L}$

$n=2,525.25$ ≈2,525 balloons.
