Answer:

40, 42 and 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark these even consecutive integers as (2n-2), 2n and (2n+2)

Note that since they are integers, n > 0 and 2n is always even

Writing the equation

(2n-2) * 2n = 38 * (2n+2) + 8

// divide both sides by 2

(2n-2) * n = 19 * (2n+2) + 4

2n^{2} - 2n = 38n + 38 + 4

2n^{2} - 2n - 38n - 38 - 4 = 0

2n^{2} - 40n - 42 = 0

// divide both sides by 2

<u />n^{2} - 20n - 21 = 0

// rewrite the equation

<u></u>n^{2} + n - 21n - 21 = 0

n * (n+1) - 21n - 21 = 0

n * (n+1) - 21 * (n+1) = 0

(n+1) * (n-21) = 0

// separate the two possible cases

n + 1 = 0 and n - 21 = 0

n = -1              n = 21

Note that here n has to be an integer, so case n = -1 can't be a solution. Therefore we use n = 21

Calculating the consecutive even integers

2n - 2 = 2 * 21 - 2 = 40

2n = 2 * 21 = 42

2n + 2 = 2 * 21 + 2 = 44

An alligator population in a naturer preserve in the Everglades increased by 60 alligators or five years what is the mean yearly
adelina 88 [10]
I'm not sure what you meant after alligators, if it was or or for, but I think it was for so I'm going with that. If 60 increase every 5 years, it would be 60 over 5 (in fractions). So I would do 60 divided by 5, which would be 12. So that means 12 increase every year. I'm not sure what mean meant either, if you're talking about the mathematical mean, but you can't solve the mean in this problem. The Answer: The yearly change in the alligator population would be 12.

Real life examples of mean median and mode​
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

For example, if you wish to find the average grade on a test for your class but one student fell asleep and scored a 0, the mean would show a much lower average because of one low grade, while the median would show how the middle group of students scored.
