Answer:

The largest number is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be = x , x+1 , x+2

As given, their sum is 84, we can write as:

$x+x+1+x+2=84$

=> $3x+3=84$

=> $3x=84-3$

=> $3x=81$

x = 27

So, x+1= $27+1=28$

And x+2 = $27+2=29$

Hence, the largest number is 29.

A rectangle swimming pool measures 22.3 feet by 75 feet find the perimeter of the swimming pool using the correct number of sign

Liula [17]

Perimeter = add all the sides

Pool has 4 sides
So
22.3 + 22.3 = 44.6
75+75 = 150
150 + 44.6 = 194.6ft

Can i get help I'm struggling right now

andrezito [222]

Answer:

7a+2a=9a

Step-by-step explanation:

You distribute the a to each of the numbers in the parenthesis. Which means that you multiply. You should be left with a 7a+2a. Then since 7+2=9, your answer is 9a. So answer 1 is correct because they do these exact steps.

PLEASE HELP ME. :( :(

STatiana [176]

Y = mx + b

4 = m(248) + b
6 = m(372) + b
subtract the two equations to get
-2 = m(-124) + 0
m = 1/62

Then plug in m into one of the equations to find b
4 = (1/62)(248) + b
4 = 4 + b
b = 0

So the equation is
y = (1/62)x + 0
or
y = (1/62)x
or
y = x/62

edit: I totally didn't use point slope. It should be
y + 0 = (1/62)(x + 0)
or y = (1/62)x

(since b is 0, that means she started driving directly at home)

SUppose the total cost C(x) to manufacture a quantity x of insecticide (in hundreds of liters) is given by

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a) $C(x)$ is increasing in two regions: (i) $(+\infty, 8\,s)$ and (ii) $(10\,s,+\infty)$ .

b) $C(x)$ decreases in $(8\,s, 10\,s)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $C(x) = x^{3}-27\cdot x^{2}+240\cdot x +850$ , where $x$ is the quantity of insecticide, measured in hundreds of liters, and $C(x)$ is the total manufacturing cost as a function of the quantity of the insecticide, measured in US dollars. A possible approach to determine which regions of $C(x)$ are decreasing and increasing by means of the first derivative and graphing tools. The first derivative of the function is:

$C'(x) = 3\cdot x^{2}-54\cdot x+240$ (1)

Please notice that regions where C(x) is increasing has $C'(x) > 0$ , whereas $C'(x) < 0$ when $C(x) < 0$ .

We notice that $C(x)$ is increasing in two regions: (i) $(+\infty, 8\,s)$ and (ii) $(10\,s,+\infty)$ . Besides, $C(x)$ decreases in $(8\,s, 10\,s)$ .
