Answer:

Denote 3 consecutive numbers as: (n-1), n, (n+1)

=> n - 1 + n + n + 1 = 498

=> 3*n = 498

=> n = 166

=> n + 1 = 166 + 1 = 167

=> 3rd number is 167

A sheet of cardboard 12 inches square is used to make an open box by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corners and

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$x=6+3\sqrt{2}$ is the size of the square

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square cut from the cardboard be “x”

Size of the square base = $12 -2x$ , height of the box = x

Volume of square box = Area * height = $(12-2x)^2 * x$

Differentiating the above equation and equating it to zero, we get –

d/dx $((12-2x)^2 * x)$

d/dx ${(144 + 4x^2 -48x)*x}$ = d/dx $(144x + 4x^3 -48x^2)$

d/dx $(144x + 4x^3 -48x^2) = 0$

$144+8x^2-96X= 0\\18 +X^2-12X = 0$

On solving above equation, we get –

$x=6+3\sqrt{2} \\ x=6-3\sqrt{2}$

Find the least common denominator of the rational expressions below:<br> 15/2x + 10 and -13/7x + 35

dem82 [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

14(x +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the first expression is ...

2x+10 = 2(x +5)

The denominator of the second expression is ...

7x +35 = 7(x +5)

The least common denominator (LCD) is the product of the unique factors in these denominators:

2×7×(x +5)

= 14(x +5) . . . . least common denominator

= 14x +70
