The sum of four consecutive odd integers is –72. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the values of the four integers.

Answer:

(x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72-21, -19, -17, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the even integer between the middle two odd integers. Then the sum of the four odd integers is ...

  (x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72

  4x = -72

  x = -18

The four integers are -21, -19, -17, -15.

_____

Additional comment

You could let x represent one of the integers. Often, people choose to let it represent the least of them. Then the equation becomes x +(x+2) +(x+4) +(x+6) = -72, so 4x = -84 and x = -21. This introduces a "subtract 12" step in the solution process that is unnecessary if x is chosen to be the average of the integers.

As the average, x is the sum divided by the number of them, so you know x=-72/4 = -18 immediately. Then you just have to find the nearest two odd integers below and above -18. You can do the whole problem mentally.

Answer:

Answers are below!

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 + g) (8)

= (2 + g) (8)

Add a 8 after the 2, and flip.

= (2)(8) + (g)(8)

= 16 + 8g

= 8g + 16

= (4) (8 + -5g)

Add another 4, then flip.

= (4) (8) + (4) (-5g)

= 32 − 20g

= - 20g + 32

−7 (5-n)

= (−7) (5 + -n)

Add another 7, then flip.

= (−7) (5) + (-7) (-n)

= −35 + 7n

= 7n - 35

Use the distributive property.

a (b + c) = ab + ac

a = 8

b = 2m

c = 1

= 8 × 2m + 8 × 1

Simplify, you get 16m + 8.

Use the distributive property.

a (b + c) = ab + ac

a = 6x

b = y

c = z

= 6xy - 6xz is the answer.

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \\\:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac[/tex]

[tex]a=-3,\:b=2b,\:c=2a[/tex]

[tex]=-3\cdot \:2b+\left(-3\right)\cdot \:2a[/tex]

Apply minus plus rules.

[tex]=-3\cdot \:2b+\left(-3\right)\cdot \:2a[/tex]

Multiply the numbers.

3 x 2 = 6

Answer:

9. -35+7n

10. 16m+8

11. 6xy-6xz

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiplying the terms inside the ( ) by the outside factor.

This is call distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac.

Also, a(b+c)=(b+c)a by commutative property.

It also works over the operation subtraction since subtraction is just a disguised addition (addition of the opposite). That is, a(b-c)=ab-ac.

Anyhow, let's look at 9.,10., and 11..

9.

-7(5-n)

(-7)(5-n)

(-7)(5)-(-7)(n)

-35+7n

10.

8(2m+1)

(8)(2m)+(8)(1)

16m+8

11.

6x(y-z)

(6x)(y-z)

(6x)(y)-(6x)(z)

6xy-6xz

Hint on 7. It's like all the other problems. That is, it is equivalent to doing 8(2+g).

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the center of the circle and a point on the circle is the radius. That distance is given by the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

A river is 212 mile long. What is the length of the river on a map, if the scale is 1 inch : 50 miles?

Answers

Answer:

4.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch / 50 miles = x / 212 miles      Cross multiply

1 inch * 212 miles = 50 miles * x      Divide by 50 miles

1 inch * 212 miles / 50 miles = x

x = 4.24 inches.

How much is 0.24 of an inch?

0.24 * 50 = 12

So 0.24 inches represents 12 miles.

Prove that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4

Answers

Answer:

By these examples you are able to see that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

For examples,

Let's consider squares of 3, 11, 25, 37 and 131.

[tex] {3}^{2} = 9[/tex]

8 is a multiple of 4, and 9 is more than 8.

[tex] {11}^{2} = 121[/tex]

120 is a multiple of 4 and 121 is one more than it.

[tex] {25}^{2} = 625[/tex]

624 is a multiple of 4 and 625 is one more than it.

[tex] {37}^{2} = 1369[/tex]

1368 is a multiple of 4 and 1369 is one more than 1368.

17160 is a multiple of 4.

1 Find the value of C to that the function probability density function defined as follow, also calculate the man and variance /4

X -1 0 1
f(x) 3c 3c 6c

Answers

Answer:

[tex]c = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

The mean of the distribution is 0.25.

The variance of the distribution is of 0.6875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability density function:

For it to be a probability function, the sum of the probabilities must be 1. The probabilities are 3c, 3c and 6c, so:

[tex]3c + 3c + 6c = 1[/tex]

[tex]12c = 1[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

So the probability distribution is:

[tex]P(X = -1) = 3c = 3\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = 3c = 3\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 6c = 6\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

Mean:

Sum of each outcome multiplied by its probability. So

[tex]E(X) = -1(0.25) + 0(0.25) + 1(0.5) = -0.25 + 0.5 = 0.25[/tex]

The mean of the distribution is 0.25.

Variance:

Sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean, multiplied by its probability. So

[tex]V^2(X) = 0.25(-1-0.25)^2 + 0.25(0 - 0.25)^2 + 0.5(1 - 0.25)^2 = 0.6875[/tex]

The variance of the distribution is of 0.6875.

define saturated and unsaturated fats​

Answers

Answer:

A saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds. A fat is made of two kinds of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids. Fats are made of long chains of carbon atoms. Some carbon atoms are linked by single bonds and others are linked by double bonds.

Saturated fats: a type of fat containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules without double bonds, considered to be less healthy in the diet than unsaturated fat

Unsaturated fats: a type of fat containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules with at least one double bond, considered to be healthier in the diet than saturated fat.

what's the difference between both?: saturated fats Contains a single bond, Excessive consumption leads to heart diseases,High melting point and Solid state in room temperature. While Unsaturated Contains at least one double bond, Good for consumption, but excessive may increase cholesterol,Low melting point and Liquid state in room temperature.
