Given:

The equation is:

3x-8y=k

It cuts the x-axis and y- axis at the point A and B respectively.

The area of ∆AOB =12 sq.units.

To find:

The value of <em>k</em>.

Solution:

We have,

3x-8y=k

Substituting x=0 to find the y-intercept.

3(0)-8y=k

0-8y=k

y=\dfrac{k}{-8}

y=-\dfrac{k}{8}

Substituting y=0 to find the x-intercept.

3x-8(0)=k

3x-0=k

x=\dfrac{k}{3}

Area of a triangle is:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height

The height of the ∆AOB is OB=\dfrac{k}{8} because distance cannot be negative and the base of the ∆AOB is OA=\dfrac{k}{3}. So, the area of the ∆AOB is:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{k}{8}\times \dfrac{k}{3}

A=\dfrac{k^2}{48}

It is given that, the area of ∆AOB = 12 sq.units.

\dfrac{k^2}{48}=12

k^2=576

k=\pm \sqrt{576}

k=\pm 24

Therefore, the value of k is either 24 or -24.

If the sum of four consecutive numbers is 854, what is the third one?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,

4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,

4x + 6 = 854,

4x = 854 - 6 = 848,

x = 848/4 = 212

The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214

Step-by-step explanation:

At least in inequality means greater than or equal to (≥)

Difference in mathematics means subtraction

The difference between a number x and 3

3 - x

is at least nine

3 - x ≥ 9

The inequality for the sentence is

3 - x ≥ 9
