Because the needed numbers are consecutive their average will be the middle number. Knowing this, just divide 72 by three, which would equal 24. 24 would be the middle number so, 23+24+25=72. The smallest of these is 23.

72:3=24
24-1=23
24+1=25

23+24+25=72
23 is the smallest

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=5x−7 and passes through (1, 11) ?
NikAS [45]
Y=5x+6 will pass through (1,11) and it is parallel to y=5x-7

5x can be interpreted as 5/1, which is the rise over run ( rise / run ) 
for every X value the line will go up by five 

Y=Mx+B

If we start at 11 and go down by five we get 6, this means if we have a B value of 6, with a rise/run of 5/1. at the first X value (1, Y), the Y value will be 11. (1,11)

I'm bad at explaining so ask away and ill further elaborate.

A 16 foot ladder is leaned up against a building. If the ladder is 9 feet away from the building (at the ground) then how high u
Luda [366]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 13.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 16 ft

adjacent side = 9 ft

opposite side = ?

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem

                c² = a² + b²

Solve for b²

                  b² = c² - a²

2.- Substitution

                  b² = 16² - 9²

3.- Simplification

                  b² = 256 - 81

                  b² = 175

                  b = 13.2 ft

4.- Conclusion

The ladder is  13.2 ft resting against the building.

The graph function g(x) is a transformation of the graph of function f(x)=x^2. g(x)=
emmasim [6.3K]
<span>A)2x^2+3   is a transformation of f(x)=x^2:  Stretch the graph vertically by a factor of 2 and then shift the entire resulting graph up by 3 units.  The graph will still look like a parabola that opens up.

</span>B)-2x^2-3   is a transformation of f(x)=x^2:  Stretch the graph vertically by a factor of 2, reflect the resulting graph in the x-axis, and then shift the entire resulting graph down by 3 units.  The graph will still look like a parabola that opens down.
<span>
Answers to C and D are very similar, except that we compress the graph of x^2 v ertically by a factor of (1/2).

None of these A, B, C, D is wrong.
