Answer:

61 , 63 , 65 , 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:

(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256

First, simplify. Combine all like terms:

x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256

4x + 12 = 256

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)

4x = 256 - 12

4x = 144

Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:

(4x)/4 = (144)/4

x = 144/4

x = 61

61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:

x = 61

x + 2 = 63

x + 4 = 65

x + 6 = 67

Check:

61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256

256 = 256

Where does the normal line to the parabola y = x − x2 at the point (1, 0) intersect the parabola a second time?
Ksivusya [100]
Find the line that is normal to the parabola at the given point
remember that normal means perpendicular
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
we can use point slope form to write the equation of the line since we are given the point (1,0)

we just need the slope

take derivitive
y'=1-2x
at x=1
y'=1-2(1)
y'=1-2
y'=-1

the slope is -1
the perpendicular of that slope is what number we can multiply to get -1
-1 times what=-1?
what=1
duh
so
point (1,0) and slope 1
y-0=1(x-1)
y=x-1 is da equation

solve for where y=x-1 and y=x-x² intersect

set equatl to each other since equal y
x-1=x-x²
x²-1=0
factor difference of 2 perfect squares
(x-1)(x+1)=0
set to zero

x-1=0
x=1
we got this point already

x+1=0
x=-1
sub back
y=-1-(-1)²
y=-1-(1)
y=-1-1
y=-2

it intersects at (-1,-2)
