We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Since we know that they equal 153,
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153
Now we combine like terms
9x + 36 = 153
Simplify
9x = 117
x = 13
Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.
Answer:
I believe it's C. Wingspan is a continuous quantitative variable.
Answer:
200 ducks total in the pond
Step-by-step explanation:
2% of x equals 4
0.02x = 4
x = 200
Rewrite <span>2cos x + 1 = 0 as:
2 cos x = -1, and then cos x = -1/2
x must be in Quadrant II or Quadrant III, since the adj. side is negative.
Note that the angle 120 has adj. side -1 and hyp 2. So 120 degrees is one solution.
Now what about a possible 2nd solution, to be found in Quadrant III? That would be -120 degrees, which has the same terminal line as does 240 degrees.
No soap.
So, the solution is 120 degrees.</span>
