An even integer can be represented by the expression 2n, where n is any integer. Find three consecutive even integers that have

a sum of 54. The three consecutive even integers, in order from least to greatest, are , , and . Explain your reasoning. Expressions for the next two consecutive even integers after 2n are and . Solving the equation =54, and substituting the solution into the expressions for the three integers results in the three integers given above.

As consecutive odd numbers differ by two (example: 3, 5, 7), the first odd number can be expressed as 2n + 1, the next can be found by adding two to the first to get 2n + 1 + 2 which simplifies to 2n + 3. Finally the expression for the third consecutive odd integer can be found by adding two to the previous, 2n + 3, to get 2n + 5. Adding these three together and setting them equal to your sum gets the equation

2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 63

Combine like terms and solve For n.

Once you have n, you must substitute it back into your three expressions (2n + 1, 2n + 3, 2n + 5) to find the three odd integers.

Hope this helps :)

Select the equation that contains the point (4, -8), and in which the graph of the line has a positive slope.
BaLLatris [955]
Okay, let me just make this a little clearer. Hopefully, this is what you meant:

A. y - 8 = -4(x + 4)
B. y - 8 = 4(x + 4)
C. y + 8 = 4(x - 4)
D. y + 8 = -4(x - 4)

--

This can also be written as y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1).

Your M is your slope. 

Both A and D have their m as a negative 4. Because you are looking for a positive slope, immediately cancel those answers.

* note that you could have also put them in a more standard form and discovered m which is the x in bx. 

Now, you are looking for an equation that contains (4,-8).

Because it is written as y2-y1, your y's are actually points if you were to find another slope or something. This part is a bit hard to explain, but -8 is only found in the y coordinate place in answer B. Your answer would be B. For more explanation on that, there's this great site called coolmath.com and if you search for finding the equation of two points, it explains it much better on there, but I would not want to plagiarize. 

The answer is B.

Evaluate the following double integral where a = 2y
Keith_Richards [23]

Change the order of integration.

\displaystyle \int_0^1 \int_{2y}^2 \cos(x^2) \, dx \, dy = \int_0^2 \int_0^{x/2} \cos(x^2) \, dy \, dx \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \int_0^2 \cos(x^2) y \bigg|_{y=0}^{y=x/2} \, dx \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac12 \int_0^2 x \cos(x^2) \, dx

Substitute u=x^2 and du=2x\,dx.

\displaystyle \frac12 \int_0^2 x \cos(x^2) \, dx = \frac14 \int_0^4 \cos(u) \, du = \frac14 \sin(u) \bigg|_{u=0}^{u=4} = \boxed{\frac{\sin(4)}4}
