Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive even numbers can be written as X,X+2,X+4,X+6, and so forth. You only have three consecutive even numbers that equal 96, so write the following equation:

X+X+2+X+4=96

1) Combine alike terms:

3X+6=96

2) Subtract 6 from both sides:

3X=90

3) Divide both sides by 3:

X=30

Now plug in 30 for each of the consecutive even numbers' equations:

X=30

X+2=32

X+4=34

The smallest of these three numbers is 30, therefore the answer is 30!

(a)Use differentiation to find the minimum value of f(x)= 3x^2 - 5x + 10 and the value(s) of x for which this minimum occurs.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Hi there!

Begin by differentiating f(x) using the power rule:

dy/dx = nxⁿ⁻¹

Therefore:

f(x) = 3x² - 5x + 10

f'(x) = 6x - 5

Set this equation equal to 0 to find the x-intercept:

0 = 6x - 5

5 = 6x

x = 5/6, which is where the graph goes from NEGATIVE to POSITIVE, so there is a MINIMUM at this value.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side length. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

B= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorem formula is a² + b² = c²

so: 8² + b² = 10²

then: 64 + b² = 100

subtract 64 from both sides to get b²= 36

square root 36 and you get 6 for b

answer: B= 6
