The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 96. What is the smallest of the three numbers

The answer is 30.

First off, the numbers are consecutive even numbers. So, the difference between every consecutive number is 2 (numbers go from even to odd to even to odd...). Since the sum of their numbers is 96, I divided that by 3 to get 32. This gives me the median of the three numbers. To find the smallest number, I simply subtracted 2 from the 32.


This may help:

96/3=32

32 + 32 + 32 = 96
(32-2)+(32+0)+(32+2)=96
30+32+34=93

Suppose that the functions p and q are defined as follows.p(x) = -2x + 1q(x)=-x?Find the following.
MariettaO [177]

First let us find

(q\mathrm{}p)(x)\begin{gathered} q(p(x))=q(-2x+1) \\ =-(-2x+1)^2 \\ So\text{ } \\ (q\mathrm{}p)(5)=-(-2\times5+1)^2 \\ =-(9)^2 \\ =-81 \end{gathered}

Now let;s solve the second part

\begin{gathered} (p\mathrm{}q)(x)=p(q(x)) \\ =p(-x^2) \\ =-2(-x^2)+1 \\ =2x^2+1 \\ So\text{ (p.q)(5) will be } \\ (p\mathrm{}q)(5)=2(5)^2+1 \\ =51 \end{gathered}

What is the square root of 100 times two divided by two
gogolik [260]

Answer:

10 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

√((100 * 2)/2)

Simplify. First, follow the Parenthesis. Combine 100 with 2

100 * 2 = 200

Next, divide by 2

200/2 = 100

Root 100

√100 = √10 * √10 = 10

10 is your answer

~

An easier way to solving this is to first cancel out the 2's ( multiplying 2 and dividing 2 would do nothing), and just square rooting 100, giving you the answer 10.

Find the area of the rectangle with a length of (x^2-2) and a width of (2x^2-x+2)
Katyanochek1 [597]
Area=legnth times width

so multiply them together use distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
in this problem
(a+b)(c+d+e)=(a+b)(c)+(a+b)(d)+(a+b)(e)

so
x^2-2 times (2x^2-x+2)=(x^2)(2x^2-x+2)-(2)(2x^2-x+2)=(2x^4-x^3+2x^2)-(4x^2-2x+4)
add like terms
2x^4-x^3+(2x^2-4x^2)-2x+4
2x^4-x^3-2x^2-2x+4
