Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first even integer be a.

The second even integer = a + 2

The third even integer = 2 + (a + 2) = a + 4

The sum of three consecutive even integers = 78

78 = a + (a + 2) + (a + 4)

78 = 3a + 6

72 = 3a

a = 24

The largest even integers is the third even integer = a + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28

Answer:

is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?

In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.

Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n.   If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.

No stress!  Just logic! Keep the faith!

Let v1=(2,-6) and v2=(-4,7)
seropon [69]

The magnitude of each vector is the Pythagorean sum of its components.


a. |v1| = √(2² + (-6)²) = √40 = 2√10

|v2| = √((-4)² + 7²) = √65


b. To make each vector into a unit vector, divide each component by the vector's magnitude.

u1 = v1/|v1| = (2/(2√10), -6/(2√10))

u1 = (√10/10, -3√10/10)


u2 = v2/|v2| = (-4/√65, 7/√65)

u2 = (-4√65/65, 7√65/65)

Help on college algebra, question is on the picture!
kodGreya [7K]
\frac{7x+1}{x-2} + \frac{2}{x} = \frac{-4}{ x^{2} -2x} is given 
here , \frac{7x+1}{x-2} + \frac{2}{x} = \frac{-4}{ x^{2} -2x} 
or, \frac{7x^{2} +x +2x-4 }{x(x-2)} = \frac{-4}{ x^{2} -2x}
or,\frac{7 x^{2} +3x-4}{ x^{2} -2x} = \frac{-4}{ x^{2} -2x}
or,7x²+3x-4=-4
or,7x²+3x=0
or,x(7x+3)=0
Either,x=0| Or,7x+3=0
                |or,7x=-3
                |or,x=\frac{-3}{7}
So , the solution set is S={0,-\frac{3}{7}}
