What is the 200th odd number

1 answer:

8 0

1st one . . . . . 1
2nd one . . . . . 3
3rd one . . . . . 5
4th one . . . . . 7
5th one . . . . . 9
.
.
9th one . . . . . 17

It looks to me like the 'n'th odd number is always (2n - 1) .

In that case, the 200th odd number is (2x200 - 1) = <em>399 </em>.

I'll let you check it out and see if that's correct.

A number increased by 4 is the same as 19 minus 2 times the number

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

n = 5

Discussion:

Let the original number be "n" Translating the problem statement to mathematical symbolism:

n + 4 = 19 - 2n => add 2n to both sides

n + 2n + 4 = 19 - 2n + 2n => combine like terms

3n + 4 = 19 => subtract 4 from both sides

3n = 19 -4 = 15 => divide both sides by 3

n = 15/3 =5

Check: Does 5 +4 = 19 - 2(5)? Does 9 = 9? Yes. so the value for n is confirmed correct.

Thank you,

MrB

A sphere has a volume of Vequals=3600 in cubedin3. Find its surface area.

Mice21 [21]

$\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\
V=\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
------\\
V=3600
\end{cases}\implies 3600=\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3
\\\\\\
3600=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\implies \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{3\cdot 3600}{4\pi }}=\boxed{r}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\
S=4\pi r^2\implies S=4\pi \left(\boxed{\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{3\cdot 3600}{4\pi }}} \right)^2$

simplify away
