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

1 ringtone and $3 equals $4, how much is the ringtone​
gavmur [86]

Answer:

$1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the ringtone r. If the ringtone and $3 equals $4, then we can write the equation $4=$3+r. To solve, all you have to do is isolate the r by subtracting 3 on each side.

Transforming quadratic graphs
rewona [7]

Answer:

f(x) = 3(x - 2)² + 4

OR  

f(x) = 3x² - 12x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a parabola:

  • y = a(x - h)² + k

Standard form of a parabola:

  • y = ax² + bx + c

Let's find the vertex of this parabola.

  • (h, k) → (2, 4)

In order to find the a-value (vertex form), let's use another point besides the vertex on the parabola.

Using (3, 7) for (x, y), let's substitute this point and the vertex (2, 4) for (h, k) into the vertex form equation and solve for a.

  • 7 = a[(3) - (2)]² + 4

Simplify using PEMDAS.

  • 7 = a(1)² + 4
  • 7 = a + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides.

  • a = 3

Now we have (h, k) and a of the vertex form.

  • y = a(x - h)² + k  → y = 3(x - 2)² + 4

In order to convert from vertex to standard form, simplify the equation by FOILing.

  • y = 3(x - 2)² + 4
  • y = 3(x² - 4x + 4) + 4

Distribute 3 inside the parentheses.

  • y = 3x² - 12x + 12 + 4

Combine like terms.

  • y = 3x² - 12x + 16

Therefore, we have the answer:

<u>Vertex form:</u>

  • f(x) = 3(x - 2)² + 4

<u>Standard form:</u>

  • f(x) = 3x² - 12x + 16
