(n – 2) + (n – 1) + n + (n + 1) = 38 =>
4n = 40 => n = 10 => 8, 9, 10, 11 => 19/2
5. Which is more?
a) Paid $100 per day for 7 days or
b) Paid $10 per day but doubled each ensuing day for 7days.
a) 7 * 100 = 700
b) 10 + 20 + 40 + 80 +160 + 320 + 640 = 1170
6. Which is greater: eπ or πe?
eπ = 23.14069263277926
πe = 22.45915771836104

8. The three solutions of the equation f(x) = 0 are -2, 0, and 3.
Find three solutions of the equation f(x - 2) = 0.
when f(x) = (x + 2)(x)(x-3)
= x3 – x2 - 6x
f(x - 2) = (-2, 0, 3) => x = 0, 2 and 5
