[50 pts] An even number, n, times the next consecutive number, n + 2, is equal to 168. Find the original number.

Answers

Answer 1

We are given:

An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168

Solving for n:

From the given statement, we can say that:

n(n+2) = 168                      [n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2']

n² + 2n = 168

n² + 2n - 168 = 0               [subtracting 168 from both sides]

We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term

n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0

n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0      [factoring out common terms]

(n-12)(n+14) = 0

Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)

Checking the result in both the cases:

(n + 14) = 0/(n-12)                     (n-12) = 0/(n+14)

n + 14 = 0                                 n - 12 = 0

n = -14                                      n = 12

Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n

Raul opened a savings account with 4300. Each week, x, Raul pays the dog sitter 30 from his savings account. Write a function, f(x), that is equal to the amount of money in the account after Raul pays the dog sitter each week.

Answers

Given:

Amount in the savings account = 4300

Each week, Raul pays the dog sitter 30 from his savings account.

To find:

The function, f(x), that is equal to the amount of money in the account after Raul pays the dog sitter each week.

Solution:

Let x be the number of weeks.

Raul pays the dog sitter in 1 week = 30

Raul pays the dog sitter in x week = 30x

Remaining amount = Initial amount - Amount he pays the dog sitter

[tex]f(x)=4300-30x[/tex]

Therefore, the required function is [tex]f(x)=4300-30x[/tex].

Every time Megan takes a sip of water, the level of the water in her glass goes down 2 inches. Which shows the correct way to find the change in the level of Megan's water glass after 3 sips?


please help me

Answers

Answer:

It changes 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Because every time she takes a sip it goes down, I can’t really explain it good but it changes 3 inches as she took 3 sips of water.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 1 sip = 2 in

                                           3 sips = 6 in so 3 sips x 2 inches =  6 inches

Answers

Given:

The graph of an inequality.

To find:

The inequality.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the boundary line is a vertical line parallel to y-axis at the distance of 3 units from the left of y-axis. So, the equation of boundary line is

[tex]x=-3[/tex]

Now, the shaded portion lies on the left of the boundary line. It means the values which are less than 0 are included in the solution set.

The boundary line is a dotted line. So, x=-3 is not included in the solution set.

So, the required inequality is

[tex]x<-3[/tex]  

Therefore, the correct option is B.

It’s time to lock down the design details for the redesigned Brick and Egyptian candles. Because of manufacturing constraints, the base length for each candle has to be at least 2 cm and can be no more than 10 cm. Make a recommendation for the base dimensions of each candle. Explain how you determined your base dimensions. Your reasoning does not have to be all math related.

Answers

Answer:

THE SMALLEST FORMS:

- smallest prism ---> the cube with all sides 2 ==> the volume is 2*2*2 = 8 cm^3

- smallest pyramid number one ---> the pyramid with base sides 2 and the height also 2 ==> the volume is (1/3)*2*2*2 = 8/3 cm^3

- smallest pyramid number two ---> the pyramid with base sides 2 and the lateral sides also 2 ==> the radius of the base is sqrt(2) ==> [pyramid_height]^2 = [lateral_side]^2 - [base_radius]^2 = 2^2 - sqrt(2)^2 = 4 - 2 = 2 ==> pyramid_height = sqrt(2) ==> the volume is (1/3)*2*2*sqrt(2) = 4*sqrt(2)/3 cm^3

- smallest cylinder --> the cylinder of diameter 2 and height also 2 ==> the radius is diameter/2 = 2/2 = 1 ==> the volume is pi*(radius^2)*height = pi*(1^2)*2 = pi*1*2 = 2*pi cm^3

The lesser volume is the volume of the smallest pyramid number two. ==> it's wax cost is approximately 0.0075 * 4 * 1.42 / 3 $ per candle = 0.014 $ per candle ==> the total cost  per candle is approximately 0.014 + 1.6 = 1.614 $ per candle.

THE BIGGEST FORMS:

- biggest prism ---> the cube with all sides 10 ==> the volume is 10*10*10 = 1000 cm^3

- biggest pyramid number one ---> the pyramid with base sides 10 and the height also 10 ==> the volume is (1/3)*10*10*10 = 1000/3 cm^3

- biggest pyramid number two ---> the pyramid with base sides 10 and the lateral sides also 10 ==> the radius of the base is 5*sqrt(2) ==> [pyramid_height]^2 = [lateral_side]^2 - [base_radius]^2 = 10^2 - [5*sqrt(2)]^2 = 100 - 50 = 50 ==> pyramid_height = 5*sqrt(2) ==> the volume is (1/3)*10*10*5*sqrt(2) = 500*sqrt(2)/3 cm^3

- biggest cylinder --> the cylinder of diameter 10 and height also 10 ==> the radius is diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 ==> the volume is pi*(radius^2)*height = pi*(5^2)*10 = pi*25*10 = 250*pi cm^3

The bigger volume is the volume of the biggest prism (the side-10 cube). ==> it's wax cost is  0.0075 * 1000 $ per candle = 7.5 $ per candle ==> the total cost per candle is 7.5 + 1.6 = 9.1 $ per candle

The range of the cost is the interval [1.614 ; 9.1]. Depending on other prices on the market,  you greed, and other factors you will put a profit margin: maybe 20% of the cost ; maybe a fixed margin like 5$. So the price per candle will be the cost per candle plus the profit margin per candle.

If I were to choose the base length I would have to say 6 because it is the arithmetic mean between 2 and 10: (2+10)/2 = 12/2 = 6. 2cm is too small, and 10cm is too big.

Also if you start with a rectangle of length 10 and width 2 and you have to find the rectangle with the largest area by being allowed to increase the width and decrease the width with the same quantity you get this:

Area of the new rectangle is (10-x)(2+x) = -x^2 + 8x + 20 = -x^2 + 8x -16 + 36 = -(x^2 - 2*x*4 + 4^2) + 36 = -(x-4)^2 + 36 = 36 - (x-4)^2 which has the maximum value of 36 because out of 36 you subtract a positive value. You get the maximum when (x-4)^2 = 0 ==> x-4=0 ==> x=4

The new length is 10-4=6 and the new width is 2+4=6.

Next I would choose the height of the prism (I like prisms :P) to be [the_golden_ratio]*[base_side] which is approximately 1.618 * 6 = 9.708 which I would round up to 10. ==> The volume would be 6*6*10 = 360 cm^3. ==> the cost would be 0.0075*360 + 1.6 = 2.7 + 1.6 = 4.3 $ per candle. And because my candle is so perfect I'd put the profit margin to be 5.69 $ per candle so I can proudly show it in the store with the price of 4.3 + 5.69 = 9.99 $ :)

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a play at a theater that has 3100 seats. The students left 1395 seats vacant. What percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip?

Answers

Answer: 55% of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total seats = 3100

Seats vacant=  1395

Seats occupied by 6th graders = 3100-1395 = 1705

The percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Seats occupied by 6th graders}}{\text{Total seats}}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{1705}{3100}\times100\\\\= 55\%[/tex]

Hence, 55% of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip.
