Answer:

1. 15, 16, 17

2. 21, 23, 25

3. 44, 46, 48

4. -4, -3, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Step 1. Writing an equation

Let's set x as the second number in the equation.

This means that the first number is x-1, and the third number is x+1.

We know that the sum of the three numbers is 48, so:

(x-1)+x+(x+1)=48

Step 2. Solving the equation

x-1+x+x+1=48

x+x+x-1+1=48

3x=48

x=16

<em>So the answer is 15, 16, 17</em>

2)

Again, let's set x as the middle number.

Odd numbers are 2 numbers apart, so the first number is x-2, and the third is x+2.

This means that the equation must be:

(x-2)+x+(x+2)=69

x+x+x=69

3x=69

x=23

<em>The numbers are 21, 23, and 25</em>

3)

x will be the middle number

Even numbers are 2 numbers apart, so the first number is x-2, and the third is x+2.

This means that:

x-2+x+x+2=138

x+x+x=138

3x=138

x=46

<em>The numbers are 44, 46, and 48.</em>

4)

x will be the middle number.

x-1=first number, x+1=third number

x-1+x+x+1=-9

3x=-9

x=-3

<em>The numbers are -4, -3, and -2.</em>

|1/2b-8|=|1/4b-1|<br> b=____ and ____

Deffense [45]

Answer:

b = 12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value equation |1/2b-8| = |1/4b-1| resolves to a piecewise linear function with three pieces. There are two solutions.

<h3>Domains</h3>

The absolute value function on the left has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/2b -8 = 0

b -16 = 0

b = 16

The absolute value function on the right has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/4b -1 = 0

b -4 = 0

b = 4

For b > 16, both absolute value functions are identity functions. In this domain, the equation is ...

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

For 4 < b < 16, the function on the left negates its argument, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1

For b < 4, both functions negate their arguments, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = -(1/4b -1)

For the purpose of finding the value of b, this is effectively identical to the equation for b > 16. (The value of b does not change if we multiply both sides of the equation by -1.)

<h3>Solutions</h3>

<u>Domain b < 4 ∪ 16 < b</u>

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

2b -32 = b -4 . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

b = 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-b to both sides

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is one of the solutions to the original equation.

<u>Domain 4 < b < 16</u>

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1 . . . . equation in this domain

-2b +32 = b -4 . . . . . . multiply by 4

36 = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . add 2b+4 to both sides

12 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is the other solution to the original equation.

<h3>Graph</h3>

For the purposes of the graph, we have define the function g(b) to be the difference of the two absolute value functions. The solutions are found where g(x) = 0, the x-intercepts. The graph shows those to be ...

b = 12 and b = 28

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Defining g(b) = |1/2b-8| -|1/4b-1|, we can rewrite it as ...

$g(b)=\begin{cases}7-\dfrac{1}{4}b&\text{for }b < 4\\-\dfrac{3}{4}b+9&\text{for }4\le b < 16\\\dfrac{1}{4}b-7&\text{for }16\le b\end{cases}$

Then the solutions are the values of b that make g(b) = 0.
