If seven consecutive numbers equal to 182, which one is the smallest?

Answer:

23.

Step-by-step explanation:

My assumption: You mean when you add the numbers, they equal 182.

Let x be the smallest number. Then we are asked to solve the following equation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) + (x + 6) = 182.

Rearranging the equation gives us:

7x + 21 = 182 => x + 3 = 26 => x = 23.

So the smallest number is 23 (since our assumption was that x is the smallest number.

----

You could very well have stated that x was the middle number as a lot of cancellations would occur. That is:

(x - 3) + (x - 2) + (x - 1) + x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x - 3) = 182.

7x = 182 => x = 26 so the smallest would be 26 - 3 = 23.

Cory writes the polynomial x7 3x5 3x 1. Melissa writes the polynomial x7 5x 10. Is there a difference between the degree of the
bagirrra123 [75]

Degree of a polynomial gives the highest power of its terms. Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

<h3>What is degree of a polynomial?</h3>

Degree of a polynomial is the highest power that its terms pertain(for multi-variables, the power of term is addition of power of variables in that term).

Thus, in x^3 + 3x^2 + 5, the degree of the polynomial is 3 as the highest power in its terms is 3.

(power and exponent are same thing)

<h3>What are like terms?</h3>

Those terms which have same variables raised with same powers.

For example, x^3 and 3x^3  are like terms since variable is same, and it is raised to same power 3.

For example 4x^2 and x^3 are not like terms as the variables are same but powers aren't same.

The given polynomials are:

c(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1\\\\p(x) = x^7 + 5x + 10

Their sum is

c(x) + p(x)  = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 + x^7 + 5x + 10 = (1+1)x^7 + 3x^5 + (3+5)x + 11\\\\c(x) + p(x) = 2x^7 + 3x^5 + 8x + 11

(only like terms' coefficients can be added (or subtracted) for addition or subtraction of them )

The sum's degree is 7

Their difference is:

c(x) - p(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 - x^7 -5x - 10 = (1-1)x^7 + 3x^5  +(3-5)x -9\\\\c(x) - p(x) = 3x^5 - 2x - 9

Difference's degree is 5

Thus, both's degrees are not same.

Thus, Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

The population of a certain country is expected to double every 32 years. The population of this country was 4.2 million people
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population in year 2000 (A) = 4.2 million

Expected population every 32 years = 2 *A

The growth rate per year =?

The population figure after 32 years = (2 * 4.2 million) = 8.4 million

Using the exponential growth formula :

P(t) = A × (1 + r)^t

(1 + r) = g = Total growth percent

A = Initial population

t = time

P(t) = 8.4 million

8,400,000 = 4,200,000 × g^32

g^32 = (8400000/4200000)

g^32 = 2

Taking the root of 32 on both sides

g = 1.02189714865

g = (1 + r)

1.02189714865 = 1 + r

r = 1.02189714865 - 1

r = 0.02189714865

.rate = 0.02189714865 * 100

= 2.18971486541%

= 2.2% ( nearest tenth)

Help please this my second time posting this please help
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

x = √30

Step-by-step explanation:

From small triangle BDC:

using Pythagorean theorem

CB² = BD² + DC²

x² = BD² + 3²

Fron triangles BDC and ADB.

ΔBDC has long leg BD and short leg DC.

ΔADB has long leg AD and shirt leg BD.

AD : BD = BD : DC

7 : BD = BD : 3

7*3 = BD*BD

BD² = 7*3 = 21

x² =  BD² + 3² = 21+9 = 30

x² = 30

x = √30
