X, x+1, x+2, x+3, ... - consecutive integers

75 as the sum of two consecutive integers:
x+x+1=75 \\
2x+1=75 \\ 2x=75-1 \\
2x=74 \\
x=\frac{74}{2} \\
x=37 \\ \\ \boxed{75=37+38}

75 as the sum of three consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2=75 \\
3x+3=75 \\
3x=75-3 \\
3x=72 \\
x=\frac{72}{3} \\
x=24 \\ \\ \boxed{75=24+25+26}

75 as the sum of six consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5=75 \\
6x+15=75 \\
6x=75-15 \\
6x=60 \\
x=\frac{60}{6} \\
x=10 \\ \\
\boxed{75=10+11+12+13+14+15}

75 as the sum of ten consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+...+x+7+x+8+x+9= 75 \\
10x+45=75 \\
10x=75-45 \\
10x=30 \\
x=\frac{30}{10} \\
x=3 \\ \\
\boxed{75=3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12}

The four sequences begin with: 3, 10, 24, 37.

Answer:

3) Midpoint is (-4,0.5)

Option A is correct.

4) Midpoint is (2.5,0)

Option B is correct.

5) The factors are (x+4)(x-7)

Option C is correct.

6) The factors are (x+4)(x+2)

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3

Find midpoint of the following:

(2,-7), (-10,8)

The formula used to find midpoint is: Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

We have x_1=2, y_1=-7, x_2=-10,y_2=8

Putting values and finding midpoint

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{2-10}{2},\frac{-7+8}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{-8}{2},\frac{1}{2} )\\Midpoint=(-4,0.5 )

So, Midpoint is (-4,0.5)

Option A is correct.

Question 4

Find midpoint of the following:

(2,-10), (3,10)

The formula used to find midpoint is: Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

We have x_1=2, y_1=-10, x_2=3,y_2=10

Putting values and finding midpoint

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{2+3}{2},\frac{-10+10}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{5}{2},\frac{0}{2} )\\Midpoint=(2.5,0 )

So, Midpoint is (2.5,0)

Option B is correct.

Question 5

Factor each completely

x^2-3x-28

We will break the middle term and find factors

x^2-3x-28\\=x^2-7x+4x-28\\Taking\:common\\=x(x-7)+4(x-7)\\=(x+4)(x-7)

So, the factors are (x+4)(x-7)

Option C is correct.

Question 6

Factor each completely

x^2+6x+8

We will break the middle term and find factors

x^2+6x+8\\=x^2+4x+2x+8\\=x(x+4)+2(x+4)\\=(x+4)(x+2)

So, the factors are (x+4)(x+2)

Option A is correct.
