Find 3 consecutive even numbers where the product of the smaller two numbers is 40 less than the square of the largest number.

1 answer:

5 0

$3\ consecutive\ even\ numbers:\ 2x,2x+2,2x+4\\\\2x(2x+2)+40=(2x+4)^2\\\\
4x^2+4x+40=4x^2+16x+16\\\\
4x^2-4x^2+4x-16x=16-40\\\\-12x=-24\ \ |:(-12)\\\\x=\frac{24}{12}=2\\\\2x=2=4\\\\2x+2=6\\\\2x+4=8\\\\Numbers\ are\ 4,6,8.$

Anettt [7]

Answer:

395.85

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diameter is 12, then the radius must be 6. Following the formula of pi: 2 * pi * radius, our result is 37.7. 37.7 * 10.50 is 395.85

I really hope this helps. My memory of circles and pi isn't the best.

2.What is the solution of the solution of the equation 5^3x=15? Round to the nearest ten thousandth.

sveta [45]

Hmm
remember
$a^c=b$ can translate to $log_a(b)=c$
so

$5^{3x}=15$ can translate to $log_5(15)=3x$
divide both sides by 3
$(1/3)log_5(15)=x$
$log_5(15^{1/3})=x$
use calculator, if you can't use change of base formula to do it
$log_a(b)= \frac{log_c(b)}{log_c(a)}$ so
$log_5(10^{1/3})= \frac{log_{10}(15^{1/3})}{log_{10}(5)}=x$
evaluate using base 10 on your calculator
0.560869=x
