Answer:

The Consecutive number are 46 , 47 and 48 having sum as 141

The smallest number is 46

Step-by-step explanation:

• A consecutive numbers means number are in a sequence and are one after the another !

e.g. n , (n+1). Or 1 , 2 are consecutive numbers

• A consecutive even numbers differ by 2 because all even numbers are divisible by 2 !

• If the number is divisible by x we must had taken number as n , ( n + x ) ,

( n + 2x )

• Let the numbers be ( n - 1 ) , n and

( n + 1 )

Given ,the sum of numbers is 141

n - 1 + n + n + 1 = 141

3n = 141

n = 141/3

n = 47

So, the numbers are

n- 1 = 47 - 1 = 46

n = 47

n + 1 = 48

And , the smallest number is 46

• Verification :-

46 + 48 + 47 = 141

Which satisfies the given condition !!

Hence , verified !!

G(n)=n^3+n<br> g(-3)<br> help!
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The question is simply asking you to evaluate the function for an input value of -3. Meaning we plug in -3 for all cases of n. (-3)^3 + (-3). This gives us -27 -3 which is -30. So g(-3)= -30

Which is the equation of the parabola?
mestny [16]

Answer:

  • y = -1/20(x + 3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Consider the parent function:</u>

  • y = x²

The graph of the function open up and the vertex is at the origin, the point (0, 0)

Now, if it opens down, it means it is a reflection of the parent function over x axis, hence it has a negative coefficient, the function becomes:

  • y = -x²

The vertex is shifted to the point (-3, 0). It means the function also translated left by 3 units, the function becomes:

  • y = -(x + 3)²

<u>Since all the options have 1/20 as a coefficient, our function is:</u>

  • y = -1/20(x + 3)²

This is option B

While preparing for a party a party planner began with 75 pieces of candy she ate 5 pieces while she was working then she put eq
Sloan [31]

The easiest way to find this answer is to work through it step by step.


She starts with 75 pieces.

She eats 5 pieces, so the # of pieces goes down from 75 to 75-5 = 70.

So she has 70 pieces left to put in the bags.

She puts the same amount in each of 10 bags... so we divide 70 by 10 to find the # of pieces in each bag.


70 divided by 10 is 7.


She put 7 pieces in each bag.
