Answer:

9, 11, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rephrase an odd number into an algebraic equation of (2n+1)

Therefore, 3 consecutive odd numbers would be written as:

(2n+1), (2n+3), (2n+5)

We can then rewrite the question as:

3 x (2n+1) = 2 x (2n+5) + 1

Work out the equation to find n:

6n + 3 = 4n + 10 + 1

(minus 4n from both sides)

2n + 3 = 11

(minus 3 from both sides)

2n = 8

(divide both sides by 2 to get)

n = 4

To find the original 3 consecutive numbers, we just input (4) into (2n+1), (2n+3), (2n+5) to get:

(8+1), (8+3), (8+5)

= 9, 11 and 13

Given one factor of the polynomial, factor the polynomial completely.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The factors are (x  - 1)(x - 5)(x + 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Long division:

x - 5 )x^3 - 4x^2 - 7x + 10( x^2 + x - 2 <--------- Quotient.

        x^3 - 5x^2

                   x^2 - 7x

                    x^2 - 5x

                           - 2x + 10

                            -2x + 10

                              ...........

x^ 2 + x - 2 = (x + 2)(x - 1).

The mean of five numbers is 8. If one of the five numbers is removed, the mean becomes 9. What is the value of the number that w
mestny [16]

Using the mean concept, it is found that the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

<h3>What is the mean?</h3>

The mean of a data-set is given by the <u>sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations</u>.

The mean of five numbers is 8, hence, the sum of the numbers is given by:

S = 5 x 8 = 40.

If one of the five numbers is removed, the mean becomes 9, hence, the sum of the four numbers is given by:

S = 4 x 9 = 36.

The difference is:

40 - 36 = 4.

Hence, the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

Driving 70 mph, it takes Alicia 2 hours to reach the airport to go on a vacation. It then takes her 2 hours to get to her destin
OLga [1]

She drove 2 hours at 70 miles per hour, so she drove 70 * 2 = 140 miles total.

The jet traveled 400 miles per hour for 2 hours for a total of 400 * 2 = 800 miles.

Total miles = 140 + 800 = 940 miles.

The answer is C.

Using a formula estimate the body surface area of a person whose height is 150 cm and who weighs 80 kg.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

B. 1.83\text{ m}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the body surface area of a person whose height is 150 cm and who weighs 80 kg.

\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Height (cm)}\times \text{Weight (kg)}}{3600}}

Substitute the values:

\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{\frac{150\text{ cm}\times 80\text{(kg)}}{3600}}

\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{\frac{12,000}{3600}}

\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{3.3333333}

\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=1.825741

\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=1.83

Therefore, the body surface area of the person would be 1.83 square meters.
