Three numbers are in the ratio 3:9:10. If 10 is added to the last number, then the three numbers form an arithmetic progression.

Answer:

<em> The numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three numbers are in the ratio of 3:9:10,

let the numbers be 3x, 9x and 10x.

<em>If 10 is added to the last number to form an arithmetic progression</em>

<em>Then, 3x 9x (10x+10) are the progression</em>

The common difference of an arithmetic progression (d) = T₂ - T₁ = T₃ - T₂

T₂-T₁ = T₃ - T₂ .............. Equation 1

Where T₁ = first term of the progression, T₂ = Second term of the progression, T₃ = third term of the progression

<em>Given: T₁ = 3x, T₂ = 9x, T₃ = 10x +10</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>9x-3x = (10x+10)-9x</em>

<em>Solving the equation above,</em>

<em>3x = 10+x</em>

<em>3x-x = 10</em>

<em>2x = 10</em>

<em>x = 10/2</em>

<em>x = 2.</em>

<em>Therefore the numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

Evaluate 5k + 1 when: *
wlad13 [49]

1

k^2 = 4k

k = 0, k = 4

#2

k^2 - 5k = k + 7

k^2 - 6k = 7

k^2 - 6k + 9 = 16

k - 3 = 4 ⇒ k = 7

k - 3 = -4 ⇒ k = -1

#3

k^3 - 5k^2 + 3k = -k

k^3 - 5k^2 + 4k = 0

k(k^2 - 5k + 4) = 0

k = 0, k = 1, k = 4

#4

|k + 1| + 2 = 8

|k + 1| = 6

k = 5, k = -7

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below?
Luden [163]

Using factorization method;

x²+13x+40=0

x²+13+40

Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).

The two numbers are +5 and +8

The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40

You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)

x(x+5)+8(x+5)

(x+8)(x+5)

x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)

x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)

x= -8 or x= -5
