The sum of three consecutive odd integers is -381

1 answer:

4 0

Given that the numbers are consecutive:
let the first number be x, the second number will be x+1, the third number be x+2
thus the sum of the numbers will be:
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=-381
3x+3=-381
3x=-381-3
3x=-384
x=-128
thus the first number is -128, the second number is -127 and the third number is -126

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

f(x) = 86(1.01)^7x; They grow at approximately the rate of 1% per day.

Step-by-step explanation

86 is the number of weeds at the starting point of the question.

8/7% each day, 7 being the total number of days in the week, the weekly growth 8%: 1 day is 8/7% growth or 1.14% rounded up to 1%

In the original equation the 8% growth was represented by 1.08

Substituting the weekly rate of 8% with the daily rate of 1%, or 1.08 with 1.01 the new function is:

f(x) = 86(1.01)^7x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have , Three different golfers played a different number of holes today. Rory played 999 holes and had a total of 424242 strokes. Alicia played 181818 holes and had a total of 797979 strokes. Rickie played 272727 holes and had a total of 123123123 strokes. We have to find , Which golfer had the lowest number of strokes per hole :

Rory:

Number of strokes per hole = $\frac{424242}{999} = 425$

Alicia:

Number of strokes per hole = $\frac{797979}{181818} = 4$

Rickie:

Number of strokes per hole = $\frac{123123123}{272727} = 451$

∴ Golfer had the lowest number of strokes per hole is Alicia  = 4.
