Assuming yo meant
f(x)=(1/3)4x²
sub 4 for x
f(4)=(1/3)4(4)²
f(4)=(1/3)4(16)
f(4)=(1/3)64
f(4)=64/3
The value of x is 13 for the first attachment.
Let's begin by listing the first few multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 38, 40, 44. So, between 1 and 37 there are 9 such multiples: {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36}. Note that 4 divided into 36 is 9.
Let's experiment by modifying the given problem a bit, for the purpose of discovering any pattern that may exist:
<span>How many multiples of 4 are there in {n; 37< n <101}? We could list and then count them: {40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100}; there are 16 such multiples in that particular interval. Try subtracting 40 from 100; we get 60. Dividing 60 by 4, we get 15, which is 1 less than 16. So it seems that if we subtract 40 from 1000 and divide the result by 4, and then add 1, we get the number of multiples of 4 between 37 and 1001:
1000
-40
-------
960
Dividing this by 4, we get 240. Adding 1, we get 241.
Finally, subtract 9 from 241: We get 232.
There are 232 multiples of 4 between 37 and 1001.
Can you think of a more straightforward method of determining this number? </span>
Answer:
900
Step-by-step explanation:
3-digit natural numbers are whole numbers that range from 100 to 999 (3-digit because there are three numbers)
- 999 whole numbers from 1 to 999 (counting from 1, 2, 3, 4...897, 898, 899)
- 1 to 99 are 2-digit numbers, so you do not count them
there are 900 3-digit natural numbers!
