The sum of three consecutive integers is 267. What is the largest integer?

1 answer:

7 0

Let the integers be x + (x+1) + (x + 2)

x + (x+1) + (x + 2) = 267 

3x + 3 = 267 
3x = 264 
x = 88 

88+89+90=267 

Largest integer=90 

Another method 

267/3 = 89 

It's the average,so it has to be the middle one. 

Thus 89, then I took 89 - 1 = 88 and 89 + 1 = 90 and just put them in order. 

88+89+90=267 

Largest integer=90

The measure angle CD is 180 degrees be uase a straight line is 180 degrees and the measure of angle bpd is 64 degrees because both angles are on a straight line which is 180 degrees so 180-116=64 so the measure is 64.

What is a simple way to solve for the sum and difference of 2 cubes? For example, 27+64<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E3"

salantis [7]

Answer:

(3 + 4x)(9 - 12x + 16x²) = 0

(4m - 1)(16m² + 4m + 1) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to solve the sum of two cubes which is $27 + 64x^{3}$

Now, the equation is $27 + 64x^{3} = 0$

⇒ 3³ + (4x)³ = 0

⇒ (3 + 4x)[3² - 3(4x) + (4x)²] = 0

⇒ (3 + 4x)(9 - 12x + 16x²) = 0

So, (3 + 4x) = 0 or (9 - 12x + 16x²) = 0

Therefore, from the above two relation we can solve for x.

One root will be $- \frac{3}{4}$ and the others we will get by applying Sridhar Acharya Formula, which will give a pair of conjugate imaginary roots of the equation.

Again, we have to solve the difference of two cubes which is $64m^{3} - 1$

Now, the equation is $64m^{3} - 1 = 0$

⇒ (4m)³ - 1³ = 0

⇒ (4m - 1)[(4m)² + 4m(1) + 1²] = 0

⇒ (4m - 1)(16m² + 4m + 1) = 0

So, (4m - 1) = 0 or (16m² + 4m + 1) = 0

Therefore, from the above two relation we can solve for m.

One root will be $\frac{1}{4}$ and the others we will get by applying Sridhar Acharya Formula, which will give a pair of conjugate imaginary roots of the equation. (Answer)

Write the first five terms of the geometric sequence in which a1=8 and the common ratio is -1/2.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

First five terms are:

8 , (-4) , 2 , (-1) , (1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{1}=8 \\\\r = \frac{-1}{2}\\\\a_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{1}= \frac{-1}{2}*8= -4\\\\a_{3}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}*-4=2\\\\a_{4}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{3}=\frac{-1}{2}*2=-1\\\\a_{5}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{4}=\frac{-1}{2}*-1=\frac{1}{2}$
