Answer: The numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation: First thing to note is that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 units between every two terms. That is, if the first number is a, the next would be a + 2, and the next would be a + 4, and so on.

Therefore the three consecutive even numbers shall be a, a + 2, and a + 4.

Our equation now becomes;

a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 48

3a + 6 = 48

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

3a = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

a = 14

Therefore, the numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

Write an equation of a circle that has the center at the origin and goes through (-3,-6)
dexar [7]

Answer:

x^{2} +y^{2} = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

General Equation of circle is

(x-x_1)^{2} +(y-y_1)^{2} = r^{2}----------- (1)

Here

(x_1, y_1)= (0, 0)

Radius r is distance from origin (x1, y1) to point (x2, y2)=(-3, -6)

r=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2} + (y_2-y_1)^{2} }

r= \sqrt{(-3-0)^{2} + (-6-0)^{2} }

r= \sqrt{9+36}

r=\sqrt{45}

Substituting values in equation (1)

(x-0)^{2} +(y-0)^{2} =( \sqrt{45})^{2}

x^{2} +y^{2} = 45
