Find the sum of three consecutive odd integers where x is the greatest integer

1 answer:

5 0

X + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ? ; In which
<span>
x + x </span>− 2 + x − 4 ;

Combine the "like terms" ;

x + x + x = 3x ;

− 2 − 4 =  −6 ;

So we have: "3x  − 6" as the sum. ;
___________________________
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which "x" is the greatest integer; is: "3x − 6" .
_____________________________________________
Note: The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:

"(x − 4)" , "(x − 2)" , and "x" .

The sum is: "(3x  − 6)<span>" .
</span>_____________________________________________
Note: "(3x  − 6)" factors into: " 3(x −2)" .

Note that: " (x − 2) " is the second integer.
______________________________________________
So the sum total, which is: "(3x  − 6)" ;  is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer; that is, "3 (x − 2)" .

Consider a series circuit consisting of a resistor of R ohms, an inductor of L henries, and variable voltage source of V(t) volt

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$I(t)=\frac{1}{3}(1-e^{-30t})$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$\frac{dI}{dt}+\frac{R}{L}I=\frac{V(t)}{L}$

R=150 ohm

L=5 H

V(t)=10 V

$P=\frac{R}{L}=\frac{150}{5}=30$

$I.F=e^{\int Pdt}=e^{\int 30 dt}=e^{30 t}$

$I(t)\times I.F=\int e^{30 t}\times 10 dt+C$

$I(t)\times e^{30 t}=\frac{10}{30}e^{30 t}+C$

$I(t)=\frac{1}{3}+Ce^{-30 t}$

I(0)=0

Substitute t=0

$0=\frac{1}{3}+C$

$C=-\frac{1}{3}$

Substitute the values

$I(t)=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}e^{-30 t}$

$I(t)=\frac{1}{3}(1-e^{-30t})$

The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27. The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81. What is the cost to r

kati45 [8]

The cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

<h3>Applications of systems of linear equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the cost to rent each chair and each table

Let c represent chair

and

t represent table

From the given information,

The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27

That is,

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

Also,

The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81

That is,

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Now, solve the equations simultaneously

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and multiply equation (2) by 5

2 × [5c + 3t = 27 ]

5 × [2c + 12t = 81 ]

10c + 6t = 54 ------------- (3)

10c + 60t = 405 ------------- (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

10c + 6t = 54

10c + 60t = 405

---------------------------

-54t = -351

t = -351/-54

t = 6.5

Substitute the value of t into equation (2)
2c + 12t = 81

2c + 12(6.5) = 81

2c + 78 = 81

2c = 81 - 78

2c = 3

c = 3/2

c = 1.5

∴ The cost of chair is $1.5 and cost of table is $6.5

Hence, the cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

What is the factored form of 5x2 − 18x − 8? (5x + 4)(x + 2) (5x + 2)(x − 4) (5x + 1)(x + 8) (5x + 1)(x − 8)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Hello! So, this question is in the form of ax² - bx - c. First thingd first, let's multiply a and c together. c = -8 and a = 5. -8 * 5 is -40. Now, let's find two factors that have a product of 40, but a sum of 18. If you list the factors, you see that 2 and 20 have a product of 40, but 2 - 20 is -18. The factors we will use are -2 and 20.

How to factor it:

For this question, you can use something called a box method and factor it by finding a factor of each column and row. Just make 4 boxes and put 5x² on the top left and -40 on the bottom left box. Put 2x on the top right box and -20x on the bottom left box. Now, factor out for each row and column. The factors should be 5x + 2 for the top part and x - 4 for the side. It should look like (5x + 2)(x - 4). Let's check it. Solve it by using the FOIL method and you get 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8. Combine like terms and you get 5x² - 18x - 8. There. The answer is B: (5x + 2)(x - 4)

Note: The box method may be challenging at first, but it can be really helpful on problems like these.
