X + x +2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x+ 10 = 270
6x + 30= 270
6x = 240
x = 40

all numbers are 40,42,44,46,48,50
second number = 40 + 42 = 42

Hello! 

Let's take a look at this problem... okay so it tells us we have six consecutive even numbers...  *** this means that there are six even numbers that come after each other in order ***   ( for example:   2, 4, 6, 8...)   

since we don't know these numbers let's start off by giving them variable values....

x = 1st number
x + 2 = 2nd number     ---->  I added 2 to x cuz the next even number comes     x + 4 = 3rd number               two spots after
x + 6 = 4th number
x + 8 = 5th number
x + 10 = 6th number

now let's form an equation with all this....

(x) + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) + (x+10) = 270
6x + 30 = 270
6x = 240
<u>x = 40</u>

Now we plug x into the 2nd number's "equation"....

x + 2 
40 + 2
<u>42</u><u />                   <-----    That's your answer!

Hope this helps! :D

Sketch the graph by hand using asymptotes and intercepts, but not derivatives. Then use your sketch as a guide to producing grap
Arisa [49]

The local minima of f\left(x\right)=\ \frac{\left(2x+3\right)^2\left(x\ -2\right)^5}{x^3\left(x-5\right)^2} are (x, f(x)) = (-1.5, 0) and (7.980, 609.174)

<h3>How to determine the local minima?</h3>

The function is given as:

f\left(x\right)=\ \frac{\left(2x+3\right)^2\left(x\ -2\right)^5}{x^3\left(x-5\right)^2}

See attachment for the graph of the function f(x)

From the attached graph, we have the following minima:

Minimum = (-1.5, 0)

Minimum = (7.980, 609.174)

The above means that, the local minima are

(x, f(x)) = (-1.5, 0) and (7.980, 609.174)
