Two sets of three consecutive integers have a property that the product of the larger two is
one less than 7 times the smallest. Set up and solve an equation that can be sue to find both
sets of integers. What are those sets of integers?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

{1, 2, 3},  {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Write expressions for three consecutive integers:  n, n + 1, n + 2.

Set up an equation for the verbal description: the product (mulitplication) of the two larger integers (the last two) is one less than 7 times the smallest (the first one).

(n + 1)(n + 2) = 7n - 1

Multiply (FOIL) the left side.

n^2 + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1

Subtract 7n and subtract 1 to make the right side 0.

n^2 - 4n + 3 = 0

Factor.

(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0

Set the two factors equal to 0

n - 1 = 0,  n - 3 = 0

Solve for n.

n = 1,  n = 3

One set of integers begins with 1, so it's {1, 2, 3}.

The other set begins with 3, so it's {3, 4, 5}

Answer:

The answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]

for our purposes we must rearrange this problem to find one of the sides, not the hypotenuse

[tex] {a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} [/tex]

plugging in our numbers we get

[tex] {25}^{2} - {24}^{2} = 49[/tex]

[tex] \sqrt{49} = 7[/tex]

If you invest $2500 at a rate of 3.5%, how much money will be in the
account after 10 years if it is compounded yearly?

Answers

Answer:

A = $3,526.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = [tex]\frac{R}{100}[/tex]

r = [tex]\frac{3.5}{100}[/tex]

r = 0.035 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + [tex]\frac{r}{n}[/tex])nt

A = 2,500.00(1 + [tex]\frac{0.035}{1}[/tex])(1)(10)

A = 2,500.00(1 + 0.035)(10)

A = $3,526.50

Hence:

The total amount of over 10 years is $3,526.50.

Answers

Answer:

n = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

There's definitely a better way, i just did math randomly but here goes:

First i squared both sides. which gets you:

[tex](\sqrt{n+5}-\sqrt{n-10} )(\sqrt{n+5}-\sqrt{n-10} )=1^2\\\\n+5 -2\sqrt{(n+5)(n-10)} +n-10=1[/tex]

Cleaning this up gives you:

[tex]2n-5 -2\sqrt{(n+5)(n-10)}=1[/tex]

Now move everything to the other side so we can square this equation again

[tex]-2\sqrt{(n+5)(n-10)}=-2n+6[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2

[tex]\sqrt{(n+5)(n-10)}=n-3[/tex]

square again

[tex](n+5)(n-10)=(n-3)^2\\n^2-5n-50=n^2-6n+9[/tex]

subtract n^2 from both sides, add 6n, and add 50

[tex]-5n-50=-6n+9\\n-50 = 9\\n=59[/tex]

Put this back into the equation and you get a correct answer!

sqrt(59 + 5) = sqrt(64) = 8

sqrt(59-10) = sqrt(49) = 7

8 - 7 = 1

14x^2=8y^2-6xy where x>0 and y>0 find the ratio x:y​

Answers

Answer:

4 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can start by moving all the terms to one side:

14x^2 + 6xy - 8y^2 = 0

Now we can start to factor this equation in order to find the ratio. We can start by factoring out the GCF, which is 2:

2(7x^2 + 3xy - 4y^2) = 0

In order to factor this equation we multiply the coefficients in front of the x^2 and y^2 term to get: 7 * -4 or -28. We are looking for numbers that have a product of -28 and a sum of 3(as the coefficient of the xy term). These two numbers are 7 and -4. We can rewrite the equation as:

2(7x^2 + 7xy - 4xy - 4y^2) = 0

Now, we can start to factor by grouping:

2( 7x[x + y] - 4y[x + y] ) = 0

And we can factor out [x + y]:

2(x + y)(7x - 4y) = 0

So, we can use the zero product property to get two equations:

x + y = 0

and

7x - 4y = 0

You get:

x =  -y

and

7x = 4y

We can get cancel out the first solution because both x and y have to be positive. Rearranging the second equation we can get x : y = 4 : 7

What is the volume of the salt shaker, including the top? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Volume of Salt Shaker =

Answers

Answer:

Volume of salt shaker  = 42.4 cm³ (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of salt shaker = 5 cm

Diameter of salt shaker = 3 cm

Find:

Volume of salt shaker

Computation:

Radius of salt shaker = Diameter of salt shaker / 2

Radius of salt shaker  = 3 / 2

Radius of salt shaker = 1.5 cm

Volume of salt shaker  = Volume of cylinder + Volume of Hemisphere

Volume of salt shaker  = πr²h + (2/3)πr³

Volume of salt shaker  = (3.14)(1.5)²(5) + (2/3)(3.14)(1.5)³

Volume of salt shaker  = (3.14)(2.25)(5) + (0.667)(3.14)(3.375)

Volume of salt shaker  = 35.325 + 7.068

Volume of salt shaker  = 42.4 cm³ (Approx.)

2. A serving of soup is 275 milliliters.
Will 6 servings of soup fit into a jar that holds up to 1.5 liters of liquid? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No, the 6 servings of soup is 1675 milliliters, which is greater than 1.5 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we already know that 1 surving of soup is 275 milliliters.

We have 6 survings of this soup.

We need to see if these 6 servings will fit in a 1.5 liter jar.

To find the total amount of mililers, we must multipy this by 6:

275*6

=

1650

Remember that 1 liter is equal to 1000 mililiters. To find the 1650 mililliters in liters, we must divide by 1000:

1650/1000

=

1.65

This number is greater than 1.5 liters, which is how much soup the jar can store.

So the answer is no, the 6 servings of soup cannot fit in the jar.

Convert. 2/3and 4/6 into like fraction

Answers

Answer:

Answer given below

Step-by-step explanation:

When we calculate the LCM, you get it as 6.

So both the fractions should have a denominator 6.

For that, in 2/3 we should multiply both numerator and denominator with 2 so that denominator becomes 6.

When we convert to like fraction, 2/3 becomes 4/6.

Now both the fractions have common denominator

Hope it helps.

The meaning of like is same and unlike means different. So to make it a like fraction the denominator needs to be the same 2 x 2= 4 3 x 3=6 = 4/6
