The sum of three consecutive integers is 312

1 answer:

8 0

Let x be for unknown number. Let x be first number . X+1 To be second number .x+2be third number. X+(x+1)+(x+2)=312. Simplify to get 3x+3=312 . Subtract 3 from both sides 3x-3=312-3. Once you subtract get 3x=109.then divide 3 both sides . 3x/3=309/3. To get x= 103. Now once you have that First number 103. Second number 103+1=104 . And third number 103+2=105. To check add them 103+104+105=312

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x + k), use the graph to determine the value of k.

g(x) is basically transformed f(x). First, let's focus on f(x) graph. Notice how the graph has slope of 1 and intersect y-axis at (0,0).

Which means that our equation for f(x) is:

$\large{f(x) = x}$

Now then we focus on g(x). g(x) is f(x+k). That means if f(x) = x then f(x+k) would mean substitute x = x+k in the equation.

$\large{f(x + k) = x + k }\\ \large{g(x) = x + k}$

Next, we want to find the value of k. In the slope-intercept form or y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Notice the g(x) graph and see that the graph intersects y-axis at (0,4). Therefore k = y-intercept = 4.

$\large{g(x) = x + 4}$
