The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 48. what is the largest of these numbers?

1 answer:

3 0

Let's name the three consecutive even numbers n, n+2, and n+4. We know that their sum will be divisible by 2 because they are all even, so we can set x = n/2, and say that x + x+1 + x+2 = 48/2 = 24. Then, we can solve for 3x + 3 = 24, 3x = 24-3 = 21, and x = 21/3 = 7.
Final answer: n/2 = 7, so n = 14, so n+4 (the greatest number) is 14+4 =
18.

Which expression completes the identity cos u sin v = ?

Lilit [14]

The product of trigonometric functions can be converted into sum ans vice versa. The given function is a product and we can convert it to a sum.One way is to expand the given expression and simplify it to find the result.

The second and easier option is to just remember the formulas of product to sum conversion identities. The 4 formulas for this case are listed below in the image.

Since we have the product of cos and sin, the sum will involve two sine functions connected by addition.

So the correct answer is option A

Suppose two dice (one red, one green) are rolled. Consider the following events. A: the red die shows 5; B: the numbers add to 2

labwork [276]

Answer:

Part 1

A = {5}

B = {(1,1)}

C = {(2,1), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (1,2), (3,2), (4,2), (5,2), (6,2)}

D = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,5), (4,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

Part 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

We use brakets for indicate that the elements belong to a event.

In each event, the first member of each parentheses belong to dice red and the second belong to green dice.

We consider in each event all elements that accomplish the condition.

Part 2

When we combinate pair with the two dice obtain 36 pairs (6*6, six possible results in the red dice and six possible results in the green dice), now we look for all of them that do not add 2.

(1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)
