The sum of 23 consecutive integers is 2323. What is the largest of these 23 integers?

1 answer:

6 0

Sum of consecutive integers = n*(n+1) / 2
2,323 = (n^2 +n)/2
4,646 = n^2 + n
n^2 + n -4,646 =0
n = 67.663 which is NOT an integer

Flying fish use their pectoral fins like airplane wings to glide through the air. Suppose a flying fish reaches a maximum height

GrogVix [38]

The flight is in the shape of a parabola with a vertex 5 feet above the water and 1/2 * 33 = 16.5 feet horizontally from the point of leaving the water

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola and here it is (5 , 16.5), so we have the function:-

y = a(x - 16.5)^2 + 5

when x = 0 y = 0 so

0 = a(-16.5)^2 + 5

which gives a = -0.018365

So our function for the flight path is

y = -0.018365(x - 16.5)^2 + 5 Answer

Suppose you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7 you win $22, if you roll a total of 11 you win $66, if you roll

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.
