Find three consecutive even integers such that the product of the first and second is 8 more than 38 times the third.

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

1. Use the Law of Levers to solve the problem, x1y1=x2y2.
Mademuasel [1]
1)  Never heard of someone referring to the Law of Levers before, must be showing my age.  A system as you describe is at equilibrium when the net torque is equal to zero. Since torque is Fr=mgr so for this system we have a sum of:

27g*10+30g*x=0  The sum must be zero to be at equilibrium, dividing both sides by g you have:

270+30x=0

270=-30x

x=-9

The negative just indicates that the magnitude of 9 is on the opposite side of the fulcrum, so x=9ft in magnitude.

2)  Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x, in this case we are given a point so we can solve for the constant, k, of variation...

y=k/x, and we are given y=-12 when x=5 so

-12=k/5

k=-60  so the equation is:

y=-60/x which can be expressed as

xy=-60

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The brains are very similar insofar that they function in almost the same way when it comes to controlling physical aspects of our existence. Our brains regulate our organs and our body parts just like a sheep's brain.

Please help!!!
crimeas [40]

Answer:

A and B only

Step-by-step explanation:

The table has x=10 that maps on to y=5 and y=-5.

This disqualifies the table for being a function.

The ordered pairs has no x-value repeating.

The graph of y=x² +10 is a vertical parabola that passes the vertical line test, hence it is also a function.

For a relation to be a function, no x-value must repeat; this means its graph must pass the vertical line test
