If the sum of two consecutive even number is 22 , find the number

1 answer:

3 0

Let the two consecutive even numbers be x and x+2
According to the question,
x+x+2=22
or,2x+2=22
or,2x=22-2
or,2x=20
or,x=20/2
therefore x=10
now x+2 = 10 + 2 = 12
Therefore the numbers are 10 and 12

Answer:

(a) (6, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations has one of them in y= form, so it lends itself to solution by substitution.

Using the equation for y to substitute into the first equation, we have ...

2x -y = 10

2x -(-1/2x +5) = 10 . . . . . substitute for y

2x +1/2x -5 = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

5/2x = 15 . . . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms

x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5

Using the equation for y, we have ...

y = -1/2(6) +5 = -3 +5

y = 2

The solution is (x, y) = (6, 2).

Which of the following would best represent a cosine function with an amplitude of 2, a period of pi over 3, and a midline at y

OleMash [197]

C. f(x) = – 2 cos 6x + 1

Start by determining the amplitude. Since we've deduced the amplitude is 2, the equation can include either a positive or negative 2 (since amplitude measures absolute value).

Next is the period. The equation for period P is P = (2pi)/b. If P is pi/3, then
pi/3 = (2pi)/b. Thus your b value should be 6.

Finally, the midline would be given by + 1 since adding a unit shifts the function upwards. This means that instead of the highest y value being 2 and the lowest -2, instead you'd have values of 3 and -1.
(3 – 1)/2 = 1 (midpoint theory).
