Answer:

18, 16

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=34→→→→→→equation 1

The difference between any two consecutive even number is 2 therefore

x-y=2→→→→→→equation 2

from equation 1 make x the subject of the formula by taking y to the other side;

x=34-y→→→→→→equation 3

substitute equation 3 as x in equation 2. we have;

34-y-y=2;

34-2y=2;

collect like terms;

-2y=2-34

-2y=-32

divide both sides by -2 we have;

y=16; it is no longer negative because the minus have cancelled each other when dividing

from equation 3;

x=34-y

x=34-16

x=18

If 1200 cm^2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top find the largest possible volume of the b
strojnjashka [21]
Surface area of box=1200 cm² 
<span>Volume of box=s²h </span>
<span>s = side of square base </span>
<span>h = height of box </span>
<span>S.A. = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>S.A. = surface area or 1200 cm², s²
 = the square base, and 4sh = the four 'walls' of the box. </span>
<span>1200 = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>1200 - s² = 4sh </span>
<span>(1200 - s²)/(4s) = h </span>


<span>v(s) = s²((1200 - s²)/(4s)) </span>
<span>v(s) = s(1200 - s²)/4 . </span>
<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3</span>

by derivating
<span>v'(s) = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>0 = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>-300 = (-3/4)s² </span>
<span>400 = s² </span>
<span>s = -20 and 20. </span>
again derivating
<span>v"(s) = -(3/2)s </span>
<span>v"(-20) = -(3/2)(-20) </span>
<span>v"(-20) = 30 </span>
<span>v"(20) = -(3/2)(20) </span>
<span>v"(20) = -30 </span>


<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 300(20) - (1/4)(20)^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 6000 - (1/4)(8000) </span>
<span>v = 6000 - 2000 
v=4000</span>

A University has 30,600 students think school counselor estimates that 2% of the students break three on my languages in a rando
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Counselor's estimate isn't correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in university = 30,600

2% break 3 of the languages

Therefore, 2/100 × 30600 = 612 students break 3 of the languages in the University according to the counselor.

In a random sample of 240 students, 20 break 3 of the languages.

% = 20/240 × 100 = 8.33%

SinceTotal number of students = 30,600

Therefore, 30,600/240 = 127.5

Which means 127.5 × 20 = 2550.

Which means 2550 students break 3 of the languages as against the 612 students stated by the counselor.

How can I find how many 13 are in 33?
ycow [4]

Answer:

therefore, 33 divided by 13 equals 2 and 7 thirteenths (can be rewritten as 2 7/13)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Long division:

13  33

13*2 = 26

33 - 26 = 7

we have: 33/13 = 2 r7

we know that we can rewrite the remainder as 7/13

therefore, 33 divided by 13 equals 2 and 7 thirteenths (can be rewritten as 2 7/13)
