Answer:

The numbers are either {-3, -2, -1} or {7, 8, 9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be represented by x. The middle number is x+1, and the largest number is x+2.

The product of the smaller and larger number is (x)(x+2).

15 more than 6 times the middle number is 6(x+1)+15.

(x)(x+2)=6(x+1)+15

x^2+2x=6x+6+15

x^2+2x=6x+21

x^2-4x-21=0

(x-7)(x+3)=0

x=-3 or x=7

The numbers are either {-3, -2, -1} or {7, 8, 9}.

Which value can be added to the set below without changing its mean?
shusha [124]

Answer:

15..

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 10, 14, 18, 22, 22

Mean = (4 + 10 + 14 + 18 + 22 + 22)/6

= 90/6

= 15.

Number to be added, 'y'

For the mean to be the same

(90 + y) / 7 = 15

90 + y = 15 × 7

90 + y = 105

y = 105 - 90

= 15

Given the function f(x) = −3x3 + 9x2 − 2x + 3, what part of the function indicates that the left end starts at the top of the gr
shutvik [7]

Answer: The correct option is, The coefficient of the first term.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is,

f(x)=-3x^3+9x^2-2x+3

End behavior of the polynomial function : It is defined as the graph of f(x) as x approaches +\infty and -\infty.

The end behavior of the graph depends on the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial.

As, the degree of the polynomial is '3'. So, the leading coefficient will determine the structure of the graph.

Therefore, the coefficient of the first term will indicate that the left end starts at the top of the graph.

The graph is also shown below.
