The sum of the squares of three consecutive integers is 509. Determine the integers.

Answer:

12, 13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the integers as:

x

x+1

x+2

The sum of their squares, so that would be;

(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509

write out the squares

x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509

combine like terms

3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509

inverse operations

3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509

                -5     -5

3x^2 + 6x = 504

factor

3x^2 + 6x = 504

3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504

Inverse operations

3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504

/3                       /3

x^2 + 2x = 168

Factor again

x ( x + 2 ) = 168

At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)

So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers

x = 12

x + 1 = 13

x + 2 = 14

What 2 numbers that are the same multiply to be 36 and add up to be 15?
marysya [2.9K]
The only way to have two numbers that are the same and add up to be 15
is if they're both 7.5 , but those don't multiply to be 36.  So I guess there's
no answer that satisfies all the conditions of this question.

Insert two numbers between 54 and 2 so that the four numbers are in geometric sequence.​
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2,6,18,54

How I got this answer:

Each term after the first is found by multiplying by a fixed, non-zero number called a common ratio.

step by step:

2×3=6

6×3=18

18×3=54

The common ratio is 3.

The registration fees for the auto were determined from California's DMV website The registration fee is $182 plus 0.65% of the
dybincka [34]

We have to find 0.65% of 182

\\ \rm\longmapsto 0.0065\times 182

\\ \rm\longmapsto 1.183\$

Now total fee

\\ \rm\longmapsto 182+1.183=183.183\$

Find the number, if 3 1/3 of it is 10
Ugo [173]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want a number that if it is multiplied by 3 1/3 the result will be 10. Let the number be x

3 1/3 * x = 10                         Change to a mixed number

10/3 * x = 10                          Multiply by 3/10

(10/3)*x * 3/10 = 10 * 3/10     Combine

x = 10*3 / 10                          Simplify

x = 30/10 = 3
