$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {GIVEN:}}}$

Sum of three consecutive odd integers = $27$

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:FIND:}}}$

The values of the three integers.

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}$

$\sf\purple{The\:three\:consecutive \:odd\:integers\:are\:7,\:9\:and\:11.}$

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {STEP-BY-STEP\:\:EXPLANATION:}}}$

Let us assume the three consecutive odd integers to be $x$ , $(x+2)$ and $(x+4)$ .

As per the condition, we have

$Sum \: \: of \: \: the \: \: three \: \: consecutive \: \: odd \: \: integers = 27$

$➺ \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27$

$➺ \: x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 27$

Now, collect the like terms.

$➺ \: (x + x + x) + (2 + 4) = 27$

$➺ \: 3x + 6 = 27$

$➺ \: 3x = 27 - 6$

$➺ \: 3x = 21$

$➺ \: x = \frac{21}{3} \\$

$➺ \: x = 7$

Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers whose sum is $27$ are $\boxed{ 7 }$ , $\boxed{ 9 }$ and $\boxed{ 11 }$ respectively.

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:VERIFY :}}}$

$⇢ 7 + 9 + 11 = 27$

$⇢ 27 = 27$

⇢ L. H. S. = R. H. S.

$\sf\blue{Hence\:verified.}$

DerKrebs [107]

a. Parameterize $C$ by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath)+t(2\,\vec\jmath)=(5-5t)\,\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le t\le1$ .

b/c. The line integral of $\vec F(x,y)=-y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath$ over $C$ is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(-2t\,\vec\imath+(5-5t)\,\vec\jmath)\cdot(-5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(10t+(10-10t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle10\int_0^1\mathrm dt=\boxed{10}$

d. Notice that we can write the line integral as

$\displaystyle\int_C\vecF\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_C(-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy)$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(-y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $D$ is the triangle bounded by $C$ , and this integral is simply twice the area of $D$ . $D$ is a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, so its area is 5 and the integral's value is 10.

Which of the following equations represents the perpendicular bisector of WX graphed below?

kotykmax [81]

The coordinates of the 2 given points are W(-5, 2), and X(5, -4).

First, we find the midpoint M using the midpoint formula:

$\displaystyle{ M_{WX}= (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )= (\frac{-5+5}{2}, \frac{2+(-4)}{2} )=(0, -1).$

Nex, we find the slope of the line containing M, perpendicular to WX. We know that if m and n are the slopes of 2 parallel lines, then mn=-1.

The slope of WX is $\displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{2-(-4)}{-5-5}= \frac{6}{-10}= -\frac{3}{5}$ .

Thus, the slope n of the perpendicular line is $\displaystyle{ \frac{5}{3}$ .

The equation of the line with slope $\displaystyle{ n= \frac{5}{3}$ containing the point M(0, -1) is given by:

$\displaystyle{ y-(-1)=\frac{5}{3}(x-0)$

$\displaystyle{ y+1= \frac{5}{3}x$

$\displaystyle{ 3y+3=5x$

$\displaystyle{ 5x-3y-3=0$

Answer: 5x-3y-3=0

The bacteria in an old piece of cheese is growing at a rate that can be modeled by y = 280 • 2^x. Determine which number represe

Katyanochek1 [597]

The answer is C.) 2

The general form of formula is
y = a • r^x
y - the total number of bacteria after x period of time
a - the initial number of bacteria
r - growth rate
x - period of time

Let's compare:
y = a • r^x
y = 280 • 2^x

Since r = 2, the growth rate is C.) 2
