Consecutive even integers are 2 apart
they are
x,x+2,x+4
total sum is 60
x+x+2+x+4=60
3x+6=60
minus 6 both sides
3x=54
divide both sides by 3
x=18
x+2=20
x+4=22
the ages are
18,20,22
To determine the minimum of an equation, we derive the <span>equation using differential calculus twice (or simply </span><span>take the second derivative of the function). If the </span><span>second derivative is greater than 0, then it is minimum; </span><span>else, if it is less than 1, the function contains the </span><span>maximum. If the second derivative is zero, then the </span><span>inflection point </span><span>is</span><span> identified.</span>
The answer to this equation is 7
Answer:
8/3, or 2 if you want a whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the simple answer is 2/(3/4). This is nothing but 2*4/3, which is just 8/3. (I used the theorem that states that dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)
