Answer:

The answer to your question is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive numbers is 120

The smallest is = ?

The smallest will be n

The next one will be  = n + 1

The highest will be = n + 2

Now, we add them

                         n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 120            Simplify like terms

                         3n + 3 = 120

                         3n = 120 - 3

                         3n = 117

                         n = 117 / 3

                         n = 39

n + 1 = 40

n + 2 = 41

                        39 + 40 + 41 = 120

Solve the system of equations y = x + 5 and y = 5x - 11 using a graphical method.
tresset_1 [31]

You can use substitution for this.

x+5 = 5x -11

Combine like terms

16=4x

Divide 4 on both sides to isolate the x

x=4

Plug x=4 to one of the equations

y= 4 +5

Combine like terms

y=9

So the answer is A. (4,9)

I hope this helps you out a bunch hun :)

I don’t think so because I’m pretty sure you can not square a negative, the fraction is kinda throwing me off

Write a quadratic function in the standard form who’s graph satisfies the given conditions
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

This is frankly impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have given me are three x-intercepts. And it is impossible for a quadratic function to have more than two roots. However, if this was an cubic function, we could multiply (x+5)(x-1)(x-4) which results in the equation which simplifies into x^3 -21x + 20. However, this is a cubic function, not a quadratic function, so something must be wrong with this problem all together.
