Answer:
454
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
Replace F(x) with y
y=x^3-10x^2+24x
To find the roots replace y with 0.
0=x^3-10x^2-24x
Rewrite the equation as
x^3-10x^2+24x=0
Factor the left side
x(x-6)(x-4)=0
The solution is a result of
x=0, x-6=0, and x-4=0
The answer is:
x=0, 6, 4
9x squared - 6x - 6x + 4
9x squared - 12x + 4
