Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first and foremost the two consecutive numbers will be x and x + 1, which will equal to 2x + 1.

2x + 1 > 15

2x + 1 = 15

Collect like terms

2x = 15 - 1

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

x = 7

The two spheres above have the same center. One has a radius of 4 cm, and the other has a radius of 5 cm. Approximately how much

Zanzabum

The space between the two spheres will be the volume of the larger sphere minus the volume of the smaller sphere. Given that the volume of any sphere is:

V=(4πr^3)/3 The space between to sphere of different radius and positioned about the same center is:

S=(4πR^3)/3-(4πr^3)/3 I used S=volume of space, R=larger radius and r=smaller radius...

S=(4π/3)(R^3-r^3), we are told that R=5 and r=4 so

S=(4π/3)(5^3-4^3)

S=(4π/3)(125-64)

S=(4π/3)(61)

S=244π/61

S=4π cm^3

S≈12.57 cm^3 (to nearest hundredth of a ml)

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

$y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0$

This gives

$x=-1$

$y=5$

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

$B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$
