Answer: The second number is 26


Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's call:

x: The first even number.

x+2: the second consecutive even number.

x+4: the third consecutive even number.

2. So, you know that the sum ot the 3 consecutive numbers is 78, therefore, you must add them, as you can see below:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=78\\3x+6=78\\3x=78-6\\3x=72\\x=\frac{72}{3}\\x=24

3. Substitute the value obtain into x+2. Therefore, the second number is:

x+2=24+2=26

Write each expression in terms of sines and/or cosines and then simplify.
Sedaia [141]
Tan(x)= sin(x)/cos(x), therefore, substitute sin(x)/cos(x) in the expression:
=(cos(x)(sin(x)/cos(x))-1)/cos^2(x)
simplify the 2 cos(x):
=(sin(x)-1)/cos^2(x)
Sin^2(x)+ cos^2(x)=1, sin^2(x)-1=- cos^2(x), substitute in the expression:
= -cos^2(x)/cos^2(x)= -1
