Since the numbers are not consecutive natural numbers, how about if I let the 4 numbers be a, b, c, and d?

The sum is given to be 1320.

a + b + c + d =1320...I will call this the first equation.

Can I then say that the second equation is b + c + d = 0.4a + a? Yes, I can do this.

Simplifying my second equation,

I get b + c + d = 1.4a.

Plugging this into my first equation, I get

a +1.4a =1320

2.4a =1320

So, a =1320/(2.4) =550.

Answer: 550

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We aren't given that they are consecutive so lets just pretend the numbers are x, y, z , and r.

We are given x+y+z+r=1320

We are also given that y+z+r=.4x+x

Simplifying my second equation gives us y+z+r=1.4x. I'm going to plug this into first equation giving me

x+1.4x=1320

2.4x=1320

So x=1320/2.4=550

If f(x)=sinx−1/cos2x, then limx→π2f(x) is equivalent to which of the following?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x), we are to find the limit if the function g(x) as g(x) tends to π/2

Substituting π/2 into the function

lim x-->π/2 sin(x)-1/cos 2(x)

= sin(π/2) - 1/cos(2)(π/2)

= 1 - 1/cosπ

= 1- 1/-1

= 1 -(-1)

= 1+1

= 2

Hence the limit of the function h(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x) as x--> π/2 is 2

Two men walk at rates of 6 miles per hour and 10 miles per hour, respectively. Simultaneously, they started from the same place
alina1380 [7]

The time taken by the two men will be equal to 26 hours

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

here two men are walking at different speeds like

v₁=6 miles per hour

v₂=10 miles per hour

The time taken by them to separated by the distance of 100 miles each so that both of them separated by the distance of 200 miles.

t₁= {100}/{6}=16.66 hours

t₂= {100}/{10}=10 hours

total time taken will be

t₁+t₂=16.66+10=26.66 hours
