Three times the greater of two consecutive odd integers is five less than four

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer (odd) be 2x + 1

Let the larger of the integers be 2x + 3

3*(2x + 3) = 4(2x + 1) - 5         remove the brackets

6x + 9 = 8x + 4 - 5                 Combine

6x + 9 = 8x - 1                        Add 1 to both sides

6x + 9 + 1 = 8x                       Combine

6x + 10 = 8x                           Subtract 6x

10 = 2x                                    Divide by 2

10/2 = x

x = 5

So the smaller odd number is 2x + 1 = 2*5 + 1 = 11

And the larger off number = 2x +  3 = 2*5 + 3 = 13

babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

V= x^2y = 500

Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.

From the first equation y = 500/x^2

So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:

A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

A = x^2 + 2000/x

Finding the derivative:

dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2

dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2

This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so

2x - 2000/x^2  = 0

2x^3 - 2000 = 0

x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000

x = 10

Second derivative is  2 + 4000/x^3

when x = 10  this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.

So y =  500/x^2

= 500/100

= 5.
