The three numbers will be 12, 7, 2 and 3, 7, 11.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

A sequence is a list of elements that have been ordered in a sequential manner, such that members come either before or after.

Let the three consecutive numbers be a, a + d, and a + 2d

The sum of three numbers which are consecutive terms of an A.P. is 21.

a + a + d + a + 2d = 21

3(a + d) = 21

a = 7 - d

If the second number is reduced by 1 and the third term is increased by 1 we obtain the geometric product.

Then the number will be a, a + d − 1, a + 2d + 1. Then we have

\rm \dfrac{a + d - 1}{a} = \dfrac{a + 2d + 1}{a + d - 1}

On simplifying, we have

36 = a (8 + d)

a² - 15a + 36 = 0

On factorizing, the value of a will be

a² - 15a + 36 = 0

a² - 12a  - 3a + 36 = 0

(a - 12)(a - 3) = 0

a = 3, 12

If a = 12, then the value of d will be

d = 7 - 12

d = -5

If a = 3, then the value of d will be

d = 7 - 3

d = 4

Then the three numbers will be 12, 7, 2 and 3, 7, 11.

More about the sequence link is given below.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation below?y=-2/3x+3 A-2/3 B. 2/3 C.2 D.x
Black_prince [1.1K]

ANSWER

A.

-  \frac{2}{3}

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

y =  -  \frac{2}{3}x + 3

This equation is already in the form:

y =mx + b

This is called the slope-intercept form.

The slope is

m =  -  \frac{2}{3}

and the y-intercept is 3.

The correct answer is A.

In a situation where the line is not given in the slope intercept form, then you must rewrite in this form before comparing.
