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.

A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses
laila [671]

Answer:

Probability of missing two passes in a row is 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event E = A football player misses twice in a row.

P(E) = ?

Event X = Football player misses the first pass

P(X) = 0.4

Event Y = Football player misses just after he first miss

P(Y) = 0.2

Both the events are exclusive so the probability of occuring of these two events can be calculated by the formula:

P(E) = P(X).P(Y)

P(E) = 0.4*0.2

P(E) = 0.08

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x) = 6(one-third) Superscript x across the y-axis?
Rasek [7]

The function g(x)=6(3)^{x} represents a reflection of f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{x} across the y-axis ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the reflection across the axes

  • If the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, then its image is g(x) = - f(x)
  • If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is g(x) = f(-x)

∵ f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{x}

∵ g(x) is the image of f(x) after reflection across the y-axis

- From the rule above reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of x

∴ g(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{-x}

∵ (a)^{-n}=(\frac{1}{a})^{n}

∵ (\frac{1}{a})^{-n}=(a)^{n}

∴ (\frac{1}{3})^{-x}=(3)^{x}

∴ g(x)=6(3)^{x}

The function g(x)=6(3)^{x} represents a reflection of f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{x} across the y-axis

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Therefore, HL theorem we will prove for Triangles Congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Label the Figure first, Such that

Angle ADB = 90 degrees,  

angle ADC = 90 degrees, and

AB ≅ AC

To Prove:

ΔABD ≅ ΔACD    by   Hypotenuse Leg theorem

Proof:

In  Δ ABD and Δ ACD

AB ≅ AC     ……….{Hypotenuse are equal Given}

∠ADB ≅ ∠ADC     ……….{Each angle measure is 90° given}

AD ≅ AD     ……….{Reflexive Property or Common side}

Δ ABD ≅ Δ ACD ….{By Hypotenuse Leg test} ......Proved

Therefore, HL theorem we will prove for Triangles Congruent.
