Answer:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 ) ; n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will use the words to create an equation. The left hand side of the equation will be the difference of a number and 6 and the right hand side of the equation will be 5 times the sum of the number and 2. Hence, we can build the equation:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

If we wanted, we can solve the equation for the number, n.

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

n - 6 = 5 * n + 5 * 2

n - 6 = 5n + 10

-16 = 4n

-4 = n

Thus, we have found the missing number to be negative four.

Cheers.

find the equations of the tangents to the curve y= x(x-1)(x+2) at the points where the curve cuts the x axis

antoniya [11.8K]

First of all, we compute the points of interest, i.e. the points where the curve cuts the x axis: since the expression is already factored, we have

$x(x-1)(x+2) = 0 \iff x=0\ \lor\ x-1=0\ \lor\ x+2=0$

Which means that the roots are

$x=0\ \lor\ x=1\ \lor\ x=-2$

Next, we can expand the function definition:

$y = x(x-1)(x+2) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x$

In this form, it is much easier to compute the derivative:

$y' = 3x^2+2x-2$

If we evaluate the derivative in the points of interest, we have

$y'(-2) = 6,\quad y'(0)=-2,\quad y'(1)=3$

This means that we are looking for the equations of three lines, of which we know a point and the slope. The equation

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

is what we need. The three lines are:

$y-0=6(x+2) \iff y = 6x+12$ This is the tangent at x = -2

$y-0=-2(x-0) \iff y = -2x$ This is the tangent at x = 0

$y-0=3(x-1) \iff y = 3x-3$ This is the tangent at x = 1

the sum of the recipocal of two consecutive even number is 7/24.one number is 6.the other number will be

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are 6 and 2x, then:

1/6 + 1/(2x) = 7/24
1/3 + 1/x = 7/12
(x+3)/(3x) = 7/12
12(x+3) = 7*3x
12x + 36 = 21x
21x - 12x = 36
9x = 36
x = 4

The other number is 2*4 = 8
