Answer:

Expression is 8(n+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

smallest of 4 consecutive odd numbers =2n + 1

consecutive odd integers are found by adding 2 to the any given odd numbers

Thus, 2nd consecutive odd integers  = 2n + 1 + 2 = 2n + 3

3rd consecutive odd integers  = 2n + 3 + 2 = 2n + 5

2nd consecutive odd integers  = 2n + 5 + 2 = 2n + 7

Thus, 4 consecutive odd integers are

2n + 1 ,2n + 3,2n + 5,2n + 7

sum of these numbers are = 2n + 1 +2n + 3 + 2n + 5+2n + 7 = 8n+16

sum of these numbers are = 8(n+2)

Thus, we see that the sum of numbers are 8(n+2)

As, 8 is common for n+2, whatever is value of n, the number will be multiple of 8 .

thus expression is 8(n+2)

Which expression could be used to determine the cost of a $40 video game after a 15 percent discount?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: The required expression is,

$ 40(0.85)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original cost of the videogame = $ 40,

Discount percentage = 15%,

So, the amount of discount = 15% of 40

= (0.15)40                     ( ∵ 1% = 0.01 )

Hence, the cost of the videogame = original cost - discount

= 40 - (0.15)40

= 40 (1-0.15)

= 40(0.85)

Which is the required expression .

Find the hypotenuse of each isosceles right triangle when the legs are of the given measure. 6 sqrt 2
Gemiola [76]
Isosceles right triangles have two equal sides (a and b) that are not the hypotenuse (c). And when two sides are equal, so are their opposite angles. There are only 180° degrees in any triangles, thus the right angle = 90°, so 90 left for the two equal, means that 2x=90,
x = 45°.

There are several ways to go about solving a triangle like this. The best and easiest is simply to memorize that the hypotenuse is exactly root2 times the other sides. Or, each isosceles side is the hypotenuse (c) ÷ root2
a = b = c \div  \sqrt{2} \\ c  = a\sqrt{2}  \\ c = 6 \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2}  = 6 \times 2 = 12
Another way to do it is the longer proof of Pythagorean Theorem:
{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}... \:  \:  c =   \sqrt{({a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2})}  \\
c= \sqrt{({6 \sqrt{2}) }^{2} + ({6 \sqrt{2})}^{2}}  \\ =  \sqrt{(2 \times{(6 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} )}  =  \sqrt{2(36 \times 2)}  \\ c =  \sqrt{144}  = 12
