What conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 22 positive even numbers?

alekssr [168]

Answer:

A.) The sum of the product of the number of terms and the number of terms plus one.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the sum of the first 22 positive even numbers:

S = 2 + 4+ 6 + ... + 44

We know the sum of such sequence is given by the (sum of the first number (2) and the last number (44)) multiplied by the number of terms (11).

S = (2 + 44) * 11 = 46 * 11 = 506

Answer A tells us it should be the sum of the number of terms (22) by the number of terms plus one (22 + 1 = 23).

S = 22 * 23 = 506

That's confirmed.

Answer B would give 22 * 21 = 462, so it's not right

Answer C would give 22 * 2 = 44, obviously not right

Answer D would give 22 * 22 = 484, close but not right.

A solution of a battery is 14% sulfuric acid. If we have 9 gallons of the solution, how much of it is acid?

Sphinxa [80]

14% would be sulfuric acid.

Percentages are of the whole, it doesn't matter if the whole amount is 50 gallons or 2 gallons, 14% of however many gallons will be sulfuric acid. However, to be clear, 14% of 50 gallons will have more sulfuric acid than 14% of 2 gallons.

A town is designing a rectangular park that will be 600 feet wide by 1000 feet long. On a scale drawing, the dimensions of the p

KonstantinChe [14]

Scale drawing takes scaled versions of original lengths. The actual length of the swing set area of the park is 25 ft long and 100 ft wide

<h3>How are scale drawings formed?</h3>

For a particular scale drawing, it is already specified that all the measurements' some constant scaled version will be taken. For example, let the scale be K feet to s inches.

Then it means

$\rm 1\: ft : \dfrac{s}{k}\: in.$

All feet measurements will then be multiplied by s/k to get the drawing's corresponding lengths.

For the given case, it is given that

Real dimension of a rectangular park : 600 ft by 1000 ft

In drawing, it was of 12 inches by 20 inches.

Let the scale that the drawing is using be k feet to s inches, then

$\rm 1\: ft : \dfrac{s}{k}\: in.$

Since it is given that 600 ft : 12 inches and 1000 ft : 20 inches, thus, we get:

$\rm 1\: ft : \dfrac{s}{k}\: in.\\\\600 \: ft = \dfrac{600\times s}{k} \: in. = 12 \: in.\\\\\dfrac{600 \times s}{k} = 12\\\\\dfrac{s}{k} = \dfrac{12}{600} = 0.02$

Thus, every feet is reduced 0.02 times in drawing.

Now,

it is given that in drawing, the rectangular area for swing sets is 0.5 inch to 2 inch.

Let its real length was L and real width was W. Then we have:
$\rm L \times 0.02 = 0.5 \\\\L = \dfrac{0.5}{0.02} = 25 \:\\\\W \times 0.02 = 2 \\W = \dfrac{2}{0.02} = 100$

Since these are only magnitudes, and unit was converted from feet to inches, so we have L = 25 feet and W = 100 feet

Thus,

The actual length of the swing set area of the park is 25 ft long and 100 ft wide

Answer:

x= 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

-The volume of a box is given by the formula:

$V=lwh\\\\l-length\\w-width\\h-height$

-We are given the dimensions h=x+2, l=2x+5 and w=4x-1.

We substitute this values in the formula and equate to the volume value.

$V=lwh\\\\605=(x+2)(2x+5)(4x-1)\\\\605=8x^3+34x^2+31x-10$

#We take the values to the same side and equate to zero;

$8x^3+34x^2+31x-615=0\\\\\\\#Factor\\\\\\(x-3)(8x^2+58x+205)=0$

#Applying the zero factor principal to obtain the different values of x:

$(x-3)=0\\\\\therefore x=3\ \ \ \ \ \ ...i\\\\(8x^2+58x+205)=0$

#We use the quadratic formula to solve the two other values of x:

$(8x^2+58x+205)=0\\x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\=\frac{-58\pm\sqrt{58^2-4\times 8\times 205}}{2\times 8}\\\\x=-3.625+3.533i \ and \ x=-3.625-3.533i$

The two other values are negatives. Ignore them since length cannot be a negative.

The only reasonable value of x is x=3

#We substitute in the formula to validate:

$V=lwh\\\\=(x+2)(2x+5)(4x-1)\\\\=(3+2)(2*3+5)(4*3-1)\\\\=605$

Hence, the value of x is 3 inches
