The value of n when the sum is 30 is equal to 5.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Sum, S = 30

To determine the value of n when the sum is 30:

<h3>How to calculate the sequence of numbers.</h3>

Mathematically, the sum of the first n consecutive even numbers is given by this formula:

S=n^2+n

<u>Where:</u>

  • S is the sum.
  • n is the consecutive even numbers.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

30=n^2+n\\\\n^2+n-30=0\\\\n^2 +6n-5n-30=0\\\\n(n+6)-5(n+6)=0\\\\(n+6)(n-5)=0

n = -6 or 5.

Since, n > 2;

n = 5.

Find the minimum and maximum of f(x,y,z)=x2+y2+z2 subject to two constraints, x+2y+z=7 and x−y=6.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Use the method of Lagrange multipliers. We have Lagrangian

L(x,y,z,\lambda_1,\lambda_2)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda_1(x+2y+z-7)+\lambda_2(x-y-6)

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0) of

L_x=2x+\lambda_1+\lambda_2=0
L_y=2y+2\lambda_1-\lambda_2=0
L_z=2z+\lambda_1=0
L_{\lambda_1}=x+2y+z-7=0
L_{\lambda_2}=x-y-6=0

As x+2y+z=7, and x-y=6, we can obtain

\dfrac12L_x+L_y+\dfrac12L_z=0\implies3\lambda_1-\dfrac12\lambda_2=-7
L_x-L_y=0\implies\lambda_1-2\lambda_2=12
\begin{cases}3\lambda_1-\frac12\lambda_2=-7\\\lambda_1-2\lambda_2=12\end{cases}\implies\lambda_1=-\dfrac{40}{11},\lambda_2=-\dfrac{86}{11}

From this, we find a single critical point:

2x-\dfrac{40}{11}-\dfrac{86}{11}=0\implies x=\dfrac{63}{11}
\dfrac{63}{11}-y=6\implies y=-\dfrac3{11}
\dfrac{63}{11}-\dfrac6{11}+z=7\implies z=\dfrac{20}{11}

At this point, we have a value of

f\left(\dfrac{63}{11},-\dfrac3{11},\dfrac{20}{11}\right)=\dfrac{398}{11}

To determine what kind of extremum occurs at this point, we check the Hessian of f(x,y,z):

\mathbf H(x,y,z)=\begin{bmatrix}f_{xx}&f_{xy}&f_{xz}\\f_{yx}&f_{yy}&f_{yz}\\f_{zx}&f_{zy}&f_{zz}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2&0&0\\0&2&0\\0&0&2\end{bmatrix}

We observe that \det\mathbf H(x,y,z)=8>0 at any point (x,y,z), and that the eigenvalues of this matrix are all positive (2 with multiplicity 3), so \mathbf H is positive definite. By the second partial derivative test, this means f(x,y,z) attains a minimum at this critical point. Meanwhile, f has no maximum value.

HELP!<br> Simplify the sum.<br> d^2+4d+3/d^2-7d-8 + d^2-2d-8/d^2+5d+6
nignag [31]
To simplify the expression we proceed as follows:
<span>d^2+4d+3/d^2-7d-8 + d^2-2d-8/d^2+5d+6
putting like terms together we have:
(d^2+d^2)+(4d-7d-2d+5d)+(3/d^2-8/d^2)+(-8+6)
=2d^2+0d-5/d^2-2
=2d</span>²-5/d²-2

What values for theta (0≤theta≤2π) satisfy the equation?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>For convenience sake, I will be omitting the arguments of the trig functions.</em>

3sin = sin - sqrt(3)

2sin = -sqrt(3)

sin = -sqrt(3)/2

So, the answer is 4pi/3 and 5pi/3.

A chemist needs 500mL of 20% acid and 80% water mix for an experiment. He adds x mL of a 10% acid and 90% water and y mal of a 3
Orlov [11]

Answer:

  x = y = 250 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired concentration of acid (20%) is exactly halfway between the concentrations of the available supplies (10%, 30%). So, the mix will be equal parts of each of those. x and y are both half the total quantity required:

  x = y = (500 mL)/2 = 250 mL

_____

If you need an equation to solve this, you can let x = 500 -y and write the equation for the acid volume in the final mix:

  10%(500 -y) +30%(y) = 20%(500)

  50 -0.1y +0.3y = 100 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.2y = 50 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 50, collect terms

  y = 250 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 (equivalently, divide by 0.2)

  x = 500 -250 = 250

ILL MARK BRAINLIST FRIST ANSWER
Nonamiya [84]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

B

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

B. Because the y is the total, the 10 is the original members, and the x is the number of years, so the 14 is the amount of members who join each year.
