Answer:
-40
Step-by-step explanation:
f(5)= -(5)^2-3(5)
-25-15=-40
1) y = x
2) y = -(1/5)x + 4
3) y = -6x + 2
4) y = x + 2
5) y = (1/2)x + 2
6) y = -x + 4
7) y = -x + 1
8) y = (3/2)x + 2
9) y = -(3/2)x - 2
10) y = 2x - 1
-----------------------------------------------
Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.
-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25
-----------------------------------------------
