Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are:  -15, -13, and -11 .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________
  x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39 ;
_____________________________________________
 in which "x" is one of the integers, 
           "(x + 2)" is the next consecutive odd integer;
           "(x + 4)"  is the third consecutive odd integer.
__________________________________________
By solving for "x", we can solve for each of three (3) consecutive odd integers.
________________________________________________________
     x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39  ;
_________________________________________________________
          1x + 1x + 2 + 1x+ 4 = -39 ;
_____________________________________________________  
                   3x + 6 = -39 ;
______________________________________________
               Subtract  "6" from EACH side of the equation:
______________________________________________
                    3x + 6 − 6  =  -39 <span>− 6 ;
____________________________________________________
        to get:   3x = -45 ;
____________________________________________________
           Divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
____________________________________________________
                 3x / 3 = -45 / 3 ;
_____________________________________________________
        to get:   x = -15 ;
______________________________________________________
     x + 2 =  -15 + 2 = -13 ;
_______________________________________________________
     x + 4 =  -15 + 4 =  -11 .
___________________________________________________
Are: -15, -13, and -11 ;  Consecutive odd integers?  YES!
___________________________________________________
Does:  -15 + (-13) + (-11)  =? = -39 ??
_____________________________________________________
           -15 </span>− 13 <span>− 11 = ? 39 ??  YES!
____________________________________________________
Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are:  -15, -13, and -11.

Under which condition does a country with a small GDP have a large per capita income? if it has a large population if it has a s
ratelena [41]
Per capita means per head or per person.

now, if a country has a small GDP hmmm say for the sake of example, $1000, and it has 1000 residents, then the per capita is $1000/1000 or a buck each.

now, $1000 is a really tiny GDP, but, if the population is say hmm 20 folks only, then the per capita amount is $1000/20, or $50 per person, now, that's a large "per capita" figure, more so than $1 per person, even though the GDP never changed, it was all along $1000.

so, if the population is comparitively small, the per capita is large, I think a good example of that is Switzerland.

sidenote:

bear in mind that per capita figures are very misleading, since you could have a tiny portion of the population making huge amounts and others making little, like in the US, and the per capita is very inaccurate to reflect the economy wealth distribution.

What is the horizontal asymptote of f(x)=-2x/x+1<br> A.-2<br> B.-1<br> C.0<br> D.1
Mrrafil [7]
A horizontal asymptote of a function f(x) is given by y = lim f(x) as x --> ∞ and x --> –∞. In this case, 
\lim_{x \to \infty}  \frac{-2x}{x+1} = \lim_{x \to \infty}  \frac{-2x}{x(1+ \frac{1}{x} )}\\&#10;=\lim_{x \to \infty}  \frac{-2}{1+ \frac{1}{x} }\\&#10;= -2&#10;

Thus, the horizontal asymptote of f(x) is y = –2.
