Answer: the smallest of the three numbers is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smallest number.

Since the three numbers are consecutive, it means that the next number would be x + 1

Also, the last and also the largest number would be x + 2

If the sum of the three consecutive numbers is 114, it means that

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 114

3x + 3 = 114

Subtracting 3 from the Left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

3x + 3 - 3 = 114 - 3

3x = 111

Dividing the Left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3x/3 = 111/3

x = 37

What is the discriminant of this equation? 3x2 + 8x = 0

Likurg_2 [28]

If the 2 is an exponent, it should be marked as such.
“3x2” means 3x⋅2
“3x^2” means 3x²

3x²+8x = 0
Discriminant = 8²-4(3)(0) = 64

It's a question from real and complex numbers which I can't solve. so someone PLZ HeLp

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$ , $\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }$ = $a^{(m-n)}$ , $(a^m)^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

Simplifying the product of the first 2 terms

$\frac{a^{p^2+pq} }{a^{pq+q^2} }$ × $\frac{a^{q^2+qr} }{a^{qr+r^2} }$

= $a^{p^2-q^2}$ × $a^{q^2-r^2}$

= $a^{p^2-r^2}$

Simplifying the third term

5( $(a^p+r)^{p-r}$

= 5 $a^{(p+r)(p-r)}$ = 5 $a^{(p^2-r^2)}$

Performing the division, that is

$\frac{a^{(p^2-r^2)} }{5a^{(p^2-r^2)} }$ ← cancel $a^{(p^2-r^2)}$ on numerator/ denominator leaves

= $\frac{1}{5}$

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Option A. Ahmed wins the chess game

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of Ahmed winning the chess games is 45%

45%=045/100=0.45

The probability of Ahmen winning the checkers games is 0.36

Compare the probability

0.45> 0.36

Is more likely that Ahmed wins the chess game
