Answer:
-74
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph the function. See attached picture. Between the interval where -4 > x < 0, the graph rises up to a peak and descends back down when x = 0. This means the minimum value will be where x = -4.
Substitute x = -4 into the equation.
f(-4) = (-4)^3 -3(-4)^2 - 9(-4) + 2
f(-4) = -64 -3(16) +36 + 2
f(-4) = -64 - 48 + 36 + 2
f(-4) = -74
160 is the number i believe, hope it helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
----------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers
----------------------------------------------------
Let the first even number be x
1st even number = x
2nd even number = x + 2
3rd even number = x + 4
----------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve
----------------------------------------------------
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -6
3x + 6 = -6
3x = - 12
x = -4
----------------------------------------------------
Find the numbers
----------------------------------------------------
1st even number = x = -4
2nd even number = x + 2 = -4 + 2 = -2
3rd even number = x + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0
----------------------------------------------------
Answers: The numbers are -4, -2 and 0
