Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  NO solution possible!


Steps:

Let "n" be the first even number. We are told that


n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) + (n +8)  = 216


The third number, the value we want, is boldfaced above.


Simplify the above equation:

5n + ( 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 ) = 216   or


5n +  20  = 216  or

5n = 196


n = 196/5   is NOT an integer value.  This problem, as stated, has no solution.

Regards, MrB

Effectus [21]

Answer:

-1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator of 10

-1/2 *5/5 = -5/10

2/5*2/2 = 4/10

-5/10 +4/10 = -1/10

ANYONE GOOD AT MATH?<br><br> PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME :(
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The parent function is f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} +k

That Parabola's equation is f(x)=x^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't really explain much, but the top equation is a formula for <em>all </em>equations for a parabola. h and k are the x and y-values of the vertex. a is, well, a.

How did I find the equation of the parabola? Simple. Since the vertex is on the origin, h and k are 0. Also, because it intercepts (2,4) and (1,1), a=1.

Given the graph below write the equation of the line.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

y = 2x+8

Step-by-Step Explanation:

The equation should be in the form of y=mx+b

So you already know it's not A. Also you already know it's not D because the line goes at an angle, if "m"(slope) was 0 then the line would be straight horizontal or straight vertical. So that leaves B and C. And finally you know it's not B because the line is going in the positive direction not negative, so the slope has to be positive, also "b" in the equation is the y-intercept, and that's where the line intersects with the y-axis, and you can see that the line intersects at 8 on the graph. Therefore, the answer is C, y=2x+8

Hope this helps!! :)
