2n + 1 , 2n + 3 , 2n + 5

____________________________

( 2n + 5 ) + ( 2n + 3 ) = 5 × ( 2n + 1 ) - 15

4n + 8 = 10n + 5 - 15

4n + 8 = 10n - 10

Add both sides 10

4n + 8 + 10 = 10n - 10 + 10

4n + 18 = 10n

Subtract both sides 4n

4n - 4n + 18 = 10n - 4n

18 = 6n

Divide both sides by 6

18 ÷ 6 = 6n ÷ 6

n = 3

_________________________________

Thus that three numbers are :

2(3) + 1 , 2(3) + 3 , 2(3) + 5

6 + 1 , 6 + 3 , 6 + 5

7 , 9 , 11

And we're done ....

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the following parabola algebraically.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

the equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola with vertical branches like this one, is an equation of a vertical line that passes through the very vertex of the parabola and divides it into its two symmetric branches. Such vertical line would have therefore an expression of the form: $x=constant$ , being that constant the very x-coordinate of the vertex.

So we use for that the fact that the x position of the vertex of a parabola of the general form: $y=ax^2+bx+c$ , is given by:

$x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a}$

which in our case becomes:

$x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a} \\x_{vertex}=\frac{48}{2\,(3)} \\x_{vertex}=\frac{48}{6} \\x_{vertex}=8$

Then, the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is:

$x=8$

What is the slope of a linear that is perpendicular to the line y=-1/2x+5?

Vlada [557]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of given line is:

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 5 \\ \\ equating \: it \: with \: y =m_1x + c \\ we \: find \: \\ m_1 = - \frac{1}{2} \\ let \: m_2 \: be \: the \: slope \: of \: required \: line \\ \\ \therefore \: m_1 \times m_2 = - 1( \because \: lines \: are \: \perp) \\ \\ \therefore \: - \frac{1}{2} \times m_2 = - 1\\ \\ \therefore \: m_2 = 2 \\$

Thus, the slope of required line is 2.
