If the sum of five consecutive even integers is 90, what is the smallest of the five integers?

1 answer:

So the pattern of even integers is: 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. They are always 2 more than the prior even integer. Using this knowledge, our 5 consecutive even numbers are (let x = smallest even number): x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, and x + 8.

Now that we have the numbers, we can form our equation as such: $x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8=90$ . From here we can solve for x.

Firstly, combine like terms: $5x+20=90$

Next, subtract 20 onto both sides of the equation: $5x=70$

Lastly, divide both sides by 5 and <u>your smallest integer is $x=14$ </u>

The following equation of a quadratic function is given in standard form. f(x) = x²- 2x + 2 Determine the vertex for each quadra

olganol [36]

Answer:

The vertex for each quadratic is $(x,y) = (1,1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the vertex for each quadratic,

The vertex of the $x$ coordinate can be determined using the formula,

$x-vertex = \frac{-b}{2a}$

The standard form of the quadratic function is

$f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c$

Hence, for the given equation of the quadratic function,

$f(x) = x^{2} -2x +2$

$a = 1$

$b = -2$

and $c = 2$

Hence, $x-vertex$ becomes,

$x-vertex = \frac{-b}{2a}$

$x-vertex = \frac{--2}{2(1)}$

$x-vertex = \frac{2}{2}$

∴ $x - vertex = 1$

This is the vertex for the $x-coordinate$

To determine, the vertex for the $y-coordinate$

We will put the value of the vertex of the $x-coordinate$ in the equation and write

$y-vertex = x^{2} - 2x + 2$

Then,

$y-vertex = (1)^{2} -2(1) + 2$

$y-vertex = 1 - 2 +2\\y-vertex = 1$

This the vertex for the $y-coordinate$

Hence, $(x,y) = (1,1)$

The circumference of a circle is 3.14 inches. Find the radius of the circle in inches. Round to the nearest whole number. Justif

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is:

pi * d

3.14 = 3.14*d

1 = d

Since the radius is 1/2 of diameter, r = 0.5
