Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row

x = 1st number

x+1 = 2nd number

x+x+1 = 17

Combine like terms

2x+1 = 17

Subtract 1 from each side

2x+1-1=17-1

2x = 16

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =16/2

x=8

x+1 = 9

The larger number is 9

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x^{2n}+10x^n+16=(x^n+2)(x^n+8)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}.\\\\x^{2n}+10x^n+16=(x^n)^2+10x^n+16=x^n\cdot x^n+2x^n+8x^n+16\\\\=x^n(x^n+2)+8(x^n+2)=(x^n+2)(x^n+8)$

harina [27]

30/40 say no, so x/1000 would say no. 1000/40=25, 25*30=750. So, about 750 would dislike it.

Determine the angle at the centre of a circle with radius 6.0 cm for an arc length of 8.0 cm.

sveta [45]

Answer:

Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember that the formula used to calculate the arc lenght is:

$arc\ length=r C$

Where "r" is the radius and "C" is the central angle in radians.

You need to solve for "C":

$C=\frac{arc\ length}{r}$

You know the radius and the arc lenght, therefore, you can substitute values to calculate the central angle in radians. Therefore, this is:

$C=\frac{8.0cm}{6.0cm}$

$C=\frac{4}{3}radians$
