X+(x+1)+(x+2)=63
3x+3=63
3x=60
x=20
Consecutive integers are: 20, 21, 22
Answer: 22

This problem states that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 63 and it asks us to find the largest integer.

Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 24, we can write an equation.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 63

We can simplify our equation on the left and it will read...

<h2>3x + 3 = 63</h2><h2> -3 -3</h2><h2></h2><h2>3x = 60</h2><h2> ÷3 ÷3 ← divide both sides by 3</h2><h2></h2><h2>X = 20</h2><h2></h2><h2>Largest integer = X + 2</h2><h2>20 + 2 = 22</h2><h2></h2><h2>Largest integer = 22</h2>

Find a new function g(x) transformed from f(x)=-x-2 such that g(x) is perpendicular to f(x) .

sineoko [7]

The new function is g(x) =-1(1/-x) +2.

The transformation of function f(x) to function g(x) is given by g(x)=A f(Bx+ H)+K. where the constant A scales the function vertically. (A negative A reflects the function about the x-axis B scales the function horizontally. (A negative B reflects the function on the y-axis.) H shifts the function horizontally, and K shifts the function vertically.

Convert f(x) to g(x)

where the conversion is g(x)=f(x)+2.

A perpendicular line has negative reciprocal slopes, so for g(x) to be perpendicular to f(x), we need to get the negative reciprocal of -x, which is -1(1/-x)

So, f(x)=-x-2 ; m = -1

From the above information, we get g(x) as follows.

g(x) =-1(1/-x) +2

How to solve this one

ladessa [460]

A dotted line is not included in the solution so there is no equal sign.

The blue area is to the right of the dotted line so the solution is >
