Three consecutive odd integers are such that the sum of the first and second is 31 less than 3 times the third. Find the integer

Arisa [49]2 years ago

Let the first odd integer be 2k+1,\ k \in \mathbb{Z}. This is a generic odd number, because 2k is twice an integer, and thus is even, and adding the +1 makes it odd.

So, three consecutive odd numbers are

2k+1,\ 2k+3,\ 2k+5

The sum of the first and second is 2k+1 + 2k+3 = 4k+4

31 less than 3 times the third is 3(2k+5)-31 = 6k-16

So we can define the equation

4k+4 = 6k-16 \iff 2k = 20 \iff k = 10

So, the three numbers are

2k+1,\ 2k+3,\ 2k+5 = 2\cdot 10+1,\ 2\cdot 10+3,\ 2\cdot 10+5 = 21, 23, 25

10. Select all that are true for the graph that represents
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

A, C and F

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=5(3)^x

It is an exponential function of the form

f(x)=a(b)^x

On comparing both the functions, we get

a=5,b=3

It means the initial value is 5 and growth factor is 3.

Since both values are positive it means the given functions is an exponential growth function, therefore,

1. The graph is increasing by a common ratio of 3.

2. As x increases, y increases.

3. As x decreases, y approaches 0.

Hence, the correct options are A, C and F.

A group of students goes out to lunch. If two have burritos and five have tacos, the bill will be $19.50. If five students have
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y=19.5

5x+2y=22.5

------------------

5(2x+5y)=5(19.5)

-2(5x+2y)=-2(22.5)

-----------------------------

10x+25y=97.5

-10x-4y=-45

-----------------------

21y=52.5

y=52.5/21=2.5

2x+5(2.5)=19.5

2x+12.5=19.5

2x=19.5-12.5

2x=7

x=7/2=3.5

x=3.5, y=2.5

The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.

What information is needed in order to solve problems using the Pythagorean theorem?
gladu [14]
You would need to know the length of two sides either a2, b2, c2. you would also need to know what sides you are solving for, either one of the legs or hypotenuse. hope this helps, if you know how to solve a Pythagorean theorem problem this should be easy to answer
