Answer:

6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x, y, z

y=x+2, z= x+4

  • y²- 2= 2x+5z
  • (x+2)²- 2= 2x+ 5(x+4)
  • x²+4x+4-2= 2x+5x+20
  • x²-3x-18=0

Solving the quadratic equation we get:

  • x=6, then y= 8, z= 10
  • x= -3 discarded as odd number

Answer:

6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x y and z are three consecutive even numbers

it means that you can write y = x + 2

and z = y + 2 = x + 4

so

  y^2-2=2x+5z\\  (x+2)^2-2=2x+5(x+4)\\x^2+4x+4-2=2x+5x+20

  x^2+4x+2=7x+20\\x^2+4x+2-7x-20=0\\x^2-3x-18=0\\(x+3)(x-6)=0(x=-3\ or \ x=6)

so the solutions are

x = 6

y = 8

x = 10

Find sec A and cot B exactly if a = 8 and b = 7.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

sec A= 1.01 and cot B =8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

sec A and cotB if a =8 and b=7

Now,

=sec A=\frac{1}{cos A} \\\\\frac{1}{cos 8} \\\\\frac{1}{0.99} \\1.01

and

cot B=\frac{cosB}{sin B} \\cotB=\frac{cos 7}{sin7} \\cot B =\frac{0.99}{0.12} \\cot B =8.25

Therefore, answer will be sec A= 1.01 and cot B =8.25
