Three consecutive even integers have a sum of 18. Find the integers.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let
x = first consecutive even
x + 2 = second consecutive even
x + 4 = third consecutive even

Based on the problem, we equate
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 18
Solving for x,
3x + 6 = 18
3x = 18 - 6
3x = 12
x = 12/3
x = 4
and x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
and x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

Therefore, the three consecutive even integers are 4, 6, 8.

The Ferris Wheel makes 12 revolutions per ride. How far would someone travel during one ride?

Answers

Answer:

C=12{*}{\pi}{*}d.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that The Ferris Wheel makes 12 revolutions per ride.

Now, The circumference to find the distance a rider travels in 1 revolution is given as: C={\pi}d where "d" is the diameter.

For 12 revolutions, the distance a rider travels is given as: C=12{*}{\pi}{*}d.

1 revolution = the circumference of the wheel = (pi) x (diameter) .

12 revolutions = 12 x the circumference of the wheel = (12) x (pi) x (diameter) .



Can you please factor this equation completely. 5x³-20x²-60x please show all work (its a 5 point question)

Answers

firs we convert into a trinomial squared, then factorize
5x³ - 20x² - 60x
= 5x(x^2 - 4x - 12)
= 5x(x - 6)(x + 2)
