The width would be 15 in. You divide 1,575 by 5 and by 21 to get 15.

Volume is length times width times height. This means that if two of the measures are given, you can set up an equation based on this formula. Your work should look like this:

V = l*w*h
1,575 = 21*w*5
1,575 = 105w (Divide both sides by 105.)
w = 15

This means that your answer should be:

The width of the drawer is 15 inches.

Find two consecutive even integers whose sum is 14

bagirrra123 [75]

Let x = small number
Let y = large number
Because they are consecutive even numbers,they must have a difference of 2:
y-x=2
y=2+x

Eqn 1: x+(2+x)=14

Eqn 2: x(2+x)=48

2x+2=14
2x=12
x=6

This means y must be 8

so your two numbers are 6 and 8

Integrate the following

enot [183]

I suppose you mean to have the entire numerator under the square root?

$\displaystyle\int_2^4\frac{\sqrt{x^2-4}}{x^2}\,\mathrm dx$

We can use a trigonometric substitution to start:

$x=2\sec t\implies\mathrm dx=2\sec t\tan t\,\mathrm dt$

Then for $x=2$ , $t=\sec^{-1}1=0$ ; for $x=4$ , $t=\sec^{-1}2=\frac\pi3$ . So the integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/3}\frac{\sqrt{(2\sec t)^2-4}}{(2\sec t)^2}(2\sec t\tan t)\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^{\pi/3}\frac{\tan^2t}{\sec t}\,\mathrm dt$

We can write

$\dfrac{\tan^2t}{\sec t}=\dfrac{\frac{\sin^2t}{\cos^2t}}{\frac1{\cos t}}=\dfrac{\sin^2t}{\cos t}=\dfrac{1-\cos^2t}{\cos t}=\sec t-\cos t$

so the integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/3}(\sec t-\cos t)\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{\ln(2+\sqrt3)-\frac{\sqrt3}2}$

Guys what is the definition of consecutive numbers? Anyone know? 20 points for first answer!!

trapecia [35]

They are integers that follow one right after another. For example the set {1,2,3,4,5} represents consecutive numbers. Another example would be {9,10,11,12,13}

In general, if x is some integer, then x+1 is the next integer right after x, and x+2 is right after x+1 and so on. The list is {x, x+1, x+2, x+3, ...} representing any general set of consecutive numbers.

Tanya is making homemade greeting cards the data table below represents the amount she spends in dollars f(x) in terms of the nu

Olenka [21]

The function that best represents the data is y = 0.75x + 4.5. The slope in this case represents the increase in the amount she spends in $ due to the number of cards she makes. The intercept with the Y axis (4.5) means that she has an expense of 4.5 $ without having made any card yet.
