Odd numbers are represented as 2n+1 where 2 is a natural number ( negative and possitive whole numbers)

consecutive odd numbers are 2 away from each other so 3 consecutive odd numbers would be
(2n+1),(2n+1+2),(2n+1+2+2)
the all add to -15 so they must all be negative
2n+1+2n+1+2+2n+1+2+2=-15
add like terms
6n+9=-15
subtract 9 from both sides
6n=-24
divide both sides by 6
n=-4
subsitute
first number=2n+1=2(-4)+1=-8+1=-7
second number=2n+1+2=2(-4)+3=-8+3=-5
third number=2n+1+2+2=-8+5=-3

the numbers are -7,-5, -3

A field bordering a straight stream is to be enclosed. The side bordering the stream is not to be fenced. If 1000 yards of fenci
sveta [45]

Answer:

x  =  500 yd

y  =  250 yd

A(max) = 125000 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call x the side parallel to the stream ( only one side to be fenced )

y the other side of the rectangular area

Then the perimeter of the  rectangle  is  p  =  2*x  + 2* y  ( but only 1 x will be fenced)

p  =  x  +  2*y

1000  =  x   +  2 * y         ⇒    y  =  (1000 - x )/ 2

And   A(r)  =  x * y

Are as fuction of x

A(x)  =  x  *  (  1000  -  x ) / 2

A(x)  =   1000*x / 2 -  x² / 2

A´(x)  =  500  -  2*x/2

A´(x)  =  0              500   -  x   =  0

x  =  500 yd

To find out if this value will bring function A to a maximum value we get the second derivative

C´´(x)  =  -1         C´´(x) < 0  then efectevly we got a maximum at  x  = 500

The side  y  = ( 1000  -  x ) / 2

y  =  500/ 2

y  =  250 yd

A(max)  =  250 * 500

A(max) = 125000 yd²
