Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers just means like one after another.

This means that:

First number = x

Second number = x + 1

Third number = x + 2

They've told us that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78.

First number + second number + third number = 78

Sub the equations we wrote into the formula above and we get:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78

Gather the like terms.

3x + 3 = 78

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x = 78-3 = 75

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.

x = 75/3 = 25

If you look at the very beginning we said that the first number = x.

Therefore it is 25.

Second number = x + 1 = 26

Third number = x + 2 = 27

In the game kazoo teams lose one point each time they skip a turn they earn a point each time there team guesses correctly.
gogolik [260]
Given that the team starts with a score of 0, after skipping 8 turns they would have 8 points deducted and thus end up with a score of -8. Now if they guess 6 answers correctly this would add 6 points to their score and so they would end up with -8 + 6 = -2 points.

Help me iv been trying from this morning
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

i did the first

Step-by-step explanation:

1st way

Standard form: a(X-h)²+k = ( -2/3X² -16/3X -32/3) +32/3 -17/3 = -2/3(X +4)² +5

y = -2/3*X^2-16/3*X-17/3

X = -4 ±√( 15/2) = -6.7386, or -1.2614

Axis of symmetry: X= -4; Vertex (maximum)=(h,k)=( -4, 5); y-intercept is (0,-5.66666666667)

two real roots: X=-1.2613872124776866 and -6.738612787477313

Convert 0.0000.489 to scientific notation
Volgvan
I do not understand why there are two decimal places.
But either ways if you are asking for :
0.0000489 then it is 4.89*10⁻⁵
0.489 then it is 4.89*10⁻¹
The trick is to count the zeroes to the first actual significant number you see and then write the number you counted with a negative sign for your power. 
I hope this helps!
