Answer:

first number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 between them.

Let n be the first even number then

n + 2, n + 4, n + 6 are the next 3 consecutive even numbers

Sum them together and equate to 36

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 36 ← simplify left side

4n + 12 = 36 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

The first number is 6 and the next 3 are 8, 10, 12

Answer:

the first number in this sequence is 6....

Step-by-step explanation:

First number = x

2nd number = x+2

3rd consecutive even number = x+4

4th consecutive even number = x+6

Therefore,

By adding these numbers:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6= 36

Add the like terms:

4x+12=36

Combine the constants:

4x=36-12

4x=24

Divide both the terms by 4

4x/4 = 24/4

x= 6

Thus the first number in this sequence is 6....

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $X_{i}$ be the indicator random variable that takes the value 1 if the ith coin is the first coin in a sequence of 19 consecutive heads.

For any sequence of length 19, the starting coin can be from toss i ,

such that i is between 1 and n - 19+1

Thus the number of such sequences is

Find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest whole number. The figure is not drawn to

Anettt [7]

Answer:

correct option is 2187

Total surface area is 2,185.44 square inches.

lateral surface area is 640.56 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

radius of cylinder = 12 inches

height of cylinder = 17 inches

we will us value of pi as 3.14

surface area for cylinder consist of two part

1. lateral surface area which is gven by $2\pi rl$

where r is radius of cylinder and l is height of cylinder

Thus, lateral surface area for given cylinder is

$2\pi rl\\ =>2* 3.14*12*17\\=> 1281.12$

Thus, lateral surface area for given cylinder is 1281.12 square inches.

_________________________________

second part of surface area is area of two base (upper and lower) of cylinder.

area of base is given by area of circle $\pi r^2$

$area \ of \base = \pi r^2 = 3.14*12^2\\=>area \ of \base = 3.14*144 = 452.16$

This, area of base is for one base of cylinder

since there are 2 base

area of both base will be = 2* area of one base

= 2*452.16 = 904.32.

Thus, area of base is 904.32 sq. in.

_______________________________________

Total surface area of cylinder = area of two base+ lateral surface area of cylinder = 1281.12 square inches + 904.32 square inches

= 2,185.44 square inches.

Thus, total surface area is 2,185.44 square inches.

lateral surface area is 640.56 square inches

but option which is closest to calculated value is 2187.

Thus, correct option is 2187

___________________________________________

Note: this problem can be directly solved using formula

total surface area for cylinder = $2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rl$
