First, a bit of housekeeping:
<span>The meaning of four consecutive even numbers is 15. Wouldn't that be "mean," not meaning? Very different concepts!
The greatest of these numbers is _______ a^1
"a^1" means "a to the first power. There are no powers in this problem statement. Perhaps you meant just "a" or "a_1" or a(1).
The least of these numbers is ______a^2.
No powers in this problem statement. Perhaps you meant a_2 or a(2)
In this problem you have four numbers. All are even, and there's a spacing of 2 units between each pair of numbers (consecutive even).
The mean, or arithmetic average, of these numbers is (a+b+c+d) / 4, where a, b, c and d represent the four consecutive even numbers. Here this mean is 15. The mean is most likely positioned between b anc c.
So here's what we have: a+b+c+d
------------- = 15
4
This is equivalent to a+b+c+d = 60.
Since the numbers a, b, c and d are consecutive even integers, let's try this:
a + (a+2) + (a+4) + (a+6) = 60. Then 4a+2+4+6=60, or 4a = 48, or a=12.
Then a=12, b=14, c=16 and d=18. Note how (12+14+16+18) / 4 = 15, which is the given mean.
We could also type, "a(1)=12, a(2)=14, a(3) = 16, and a(4) = 18.

Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
define variables:
y= height of the boards
x= distance to corner
we are trying to figure out what x is since we know the height of the board
4= 0.4x
divide both sides by 0.4
10=x
The relationship is that the volume of a cube is equal to one edge length cubed or edge×edge×edge
Answer:
<u><em>Corral 4</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to divide the area of the corral by the Number of animals In order To know the dedicated space for each animal
Corral 1 :
(50×40)÷110 = 18.181818181818 < 20
Then it doesn’t meet the requirements.
Corral 2 :
(60×35)÷115 = 18.260869565217 < 20
Then it doesn’t meet the requirements
Corral 3 :
(55×45)÷125 = 19.8 < 20
Then it doesn’t meet the requirements
Corral 4 :
(65×40)÷130 = 20
Then It meets the requirements
Answer:
D,0,2,-2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^5-3x^3-20x=0
x(2x^4-3x^2-20)=0
x=0
or 2x^4-3x^2-20=0
put x²=t
2t²-3t-20=0
-20×2=-40
8-5=3
8×-5=-40
2t²-(8-5)t-20=0
2t²-8t+5t-20=0
2t(t-4)+5(t-4)=0
(t-4)(2t+5)=0
t=4
x²=4
x=2,-2
t=-5/2
x²=-5/2
it gives imaginary root. so real rational roots are 0,2,-2
