Answer:

<em>There are 21 jelly beans in the jar.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of jelly beans in the jar is  x

Two were off by 2, two were off by 3, two were off by 4. That means, the six guessed number will be:  (x+2), (x-2), (x+3), (x-3), (x+4), (x-4)

Given that, Alice guessed 25; Betty, 18; Clare, 23; Dotty, 19; Edith, 24; and Fran, 17.

So, the sum of all six guessed number will be:  25+18+23+19+24+17=126

Thus, the equation will be..........

(x+2)+(x-2)+(x+3)+(x-3)+(x+4)+(x-4)= 126\\ \\ 6x= 126\\ \\ x=\frac{126}{6}=21

So, the number of jelly beans in the jar is 21.

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring. 9x^2+24x+20=4
const2013 [10]

D. -4/3

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

9x2+24x+20=4

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.

9x2+24x+20−4=4−4

9x2+24x+16=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(3x+4)(3x+4)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

3x+4=0 or 3x+4=0

x= −4 /3

Hope This helps

Evaluate the surface integral. s x ds, s is the part of the plane 18x + 9y + z = 18 that lies in the first octant.
IceJOKER [234]
In the first octant, the given plane forms a triangle with vertices corresponding to the plane's intercepts along each axis.

(x,0,0)\implies 18x+9\cdot0+0=18\implies x=1
(0,y,0)\implies 18\cdot0+9y+0=18\implies y=2
(0,0,z)\implies 18\cdot0+9\cdot0+z=18\implies z=18

Now that we know the vertices of the surface \mathcal S, we can parameterize it by

\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle(1-u)(1-v),2u(1-v),18v\rangle

where 0\le u\le1 and 0\le v\le1. The surface element is

\mathrm dS=\|\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=2\sqrt{406}(1-v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

With respect to our parameterization, we have x(u,v)=(1-u)(1-v), so the surface integral is

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}x\,\mathrm dS=2\sqrt{406}\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-u)(1-v)^2\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=\frac{\sqrt{406}}3
