Tried a whole bunch of odd sequences:

11 + 13 + 15 = 39
Nope too small.

21 + 23 + 25 = 69
Woah too big!

And after a few more trials found that:
17 + 19 + 21 = 51

Woohoo!

An odd number is ussualy written as "2k+1" and an even number is written as "2k".
Now, as there are 3 consecutive odd numbers that sum to 51, it can be written this way: 
(2k+1)+(2k+3)+(2k+5)=51
6k+9=51
6k=42
k=7 => The numbers are: 2*7+1=15
                                         2*7+3=17
                                          2*7+5=19
15+17+19=51

Factor completely x^4-17x^2+16​
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

A chemist has a 40% alcohol solution and a 25% alcohol solution. How much of each should he mix together to get 50 liters of a 3
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations...

Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution

Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution

We need 50 liters total, so

x + y = 50

and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so

0.4x = 0.25y =  0.35(50)  

Solve the first equation for one variable...

x = 50 - y             (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)

Now substitute that value into the second equation...

0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5      (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)

Now solve for y...

20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5

  -0.15y = -2.5

      y = 16.66666667

        y = 16 2/3 L

So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'

x + 16 2/3 = 50

x = 50 - 16 2/3

x = 33 1/3
