Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive integers....

1st integer = x

2nd integer = x + 1

3rd integer = x + 2

the product of 1st and 3rd is 5 greater then 5 times the 2nd...

x(x+2) = 5(x + 1) + 5

x^2 + 2x = 5x + 5 + 5

x^2 + 2x = 5x + 10

x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0

x^2 - 3x - 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0 x + 2 = 0

x = 5 x = -2

so it will be : 5,6,and 7 or -2,-1, and 0

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with a length of 3 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a height of 8 mm?

kherson [118]

158, because to solve this question we first need to know the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism which is A=2(wl+hl+hw) then you just need to input the numbers like so A=2(5*3+8*3+8*5) then when you simplify this down you get A=2(79) then distribute like so so A=158

84. Use properties of exponents to rewrite each expression with only positive, rational exponents. Then find the numerical value

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 1/27

b) 16

c) 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $x^{-3/2}$

One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

$x^{-3/2}=\frac{1}{x^{3/2} }$
