Find four consecutive integers such that 5 times the fourth diminished by twice the second is 7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-2, -1, 0, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 4 numbers be x,x+1, x+2, x+3

Then we have the equation:-

5(x+3)-2(x+1) = 7

5x - 2x + 15 - 2 = 7

3x = - 6

x = -2


so the integers are  -2, -1, 0, 1

Find the measure of two supplementary angles, ∠A and ∠B, if m∠A = (3x – 7)° and m∠B = (2x + 2)°. =180
nikklg [1K]

Answers:

Angle A = 104 degrees

Angle B = 76 degrees

=================================

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees.

A+B = 180

(3x-7)+(2x+2) = 180

5x-5 = 180

5x-5+5 = 180+5 ... add 5 to both sides

5x = 185

5x/5 = 185/5 .... divide both sides by 5

x = 37

Use x =37 to find

Angle A = 3x-7 = 3*37-7 = 111-7 = 104 degrees

Angle B = 2x+2 = 2*37+2 = 74+2 = 76 degrees

As a check: A+B = 104+76 = 180 so that helps confirm the answer

Mr. Nicholson accepts a job that pays an annual salary of $60,000. In his employment contract, he is given the option of choosin
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

1. Arithmetic: Add 3,500

The annual raise of 3,500 means add 3,500 to the previous year's salary

60,000 + 3,500 = 63,500

63,500 + 3,500 =  67,000

67,000 + 3,500 = 70,500

70,500 + 3,500 = 74,000

74,000 + 3,500 = 77,500

Geometric: Multiply by 1.05

The annual raise by 5% of his current salary means multiply by 1.05.

60,000 x 1.05 = 63,000

63,000 x 1.05 = 66,150

66,150 x 1.05 = 69,457.50

69,457.50 x 1.05 = 72,930.38 rounded

72,930.375 x 1.05 = 76,576.89

The first sequence is arithmetic because we add the same number (3,500) to the preceding term. The second sequence is geometric because we multiply the preceding term by the same number always (1.05.)

2a. Arithmetic - New salary is $3,500 greater each year than last year's salary

S = 60,000 + 3500(n-1)

Geometric - New salary is 5% more each year than last year's salary

60,000 + (1.05)^(n-1)

2b. Arithmetic Earnings over 3 years

60,000 + 63,500 + 67,000 = 190,500

Geometric Earnings over 3 years

60,000 + 63,000 + 66,150 = 189,150

There is a 1,000 dollar difference. In this case, the arithmetic increase of 3,500 dollars would be better for Mr. Nicholson. 1,000 dollars may or may not be considered a big difference. In my opinion, I'd say there is a slight difference between the two

3.Arithmetic

a(9) = 3,500 + a(9-1)

a(9) = 3,500 + 89,000

a(9) = 92,500

Geometric

a(9) = 1.05 x a(9-1)

a(9) = 1.05 x 84,425.90

a(9) = 88,647.20

4. In this case, both the 3 year and 9 year time frames favor the arithmetic increase of $3,500. At 3 years, he would have 190,500 compared to the geometric salary of 189,150. However, this is a small difference. If he is going to be at the company for 9 years, then definitely he should choose the first opportunity. 92,500 is significantly more money than 88,647.20. So, longer time frames only make the first opportunity, which is better to begin with, shine even more.

What is the factorization of the polynomial below?
katrin [286]

Answer:

A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out the polynomial given.

(4x² - 25) = (2x - 5)(2x + 5)

Check: Use the FOIL method.

(2x)(2x) = 4x²

(2x)(5) = 10x

(2x)(-5) = -10x

(-5)(5) = -25

Simplify. Combine like terms: 4x² + 10x - 10x - 25 = 4x² - 25

A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5) is your answer

Please answer this question...
irina1246 [14]

Answer:  I believe the standard deviation will remain the same, 6, choice A.

Step-by-step explanation:  Standard deviation is calkculated based on the difference of each point from the mean.  If 10 were added to each score, the mean would also increase by 10.  That would mean that the difference between the mean and each score would be exactly the same, leading to an identical standard deviation.  Sounds crazy, but that's what numbers do for a living.
