The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 183. What is the second number in the sequence?

Mathematics

atroni [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want only the middle number, then call it x

the largest of the 3 is x + 1

The smallest of the 3 is x - 1

Add

x + 1 + x - 1 + x = 183 Cancel the 1s out.

x + x + x  = 183          Combine the like terms on the left

3x = 183                     Divide by 3

x = 183/3                    Do the division

x = 61

The middle number is 61

For light: Inverse Square Law 

<span>
The signal is weaken by the inverse square of the difference of distances this means that one over the square of the difference. </span>

</span>

Therefore, 70000LY / 141 LY =496.45 and that squared =246462.602 times less signal, or 1/246462.602.


 2 For a circular telescope like the Arecibo radio telescope that equals Pi times the radius squared. Sensitivity of the telescope depends on its area.<span>
The new telescope needs 246462.60 times that area to have enough sensitivity </span>

<span>
<span>(150 x 150 x Pi) = 70 685 sq m area for the Arecibo telescope and that times 246462.60

<span>1. Divide the area by Pi = 5.548156 x 10^9
2. Take the square root of the result to find the radius = 74485.94293</span></span>

3. Multiply by 2 to find the diameter = <span>148971.886</span>

Find the slope of a line parallel to this given line
dybincka [34]

bearing in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, then any parallel line to the one above will have the same slope as that one.

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \qquad \implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{7}{3}}x-4
