The answer is 1,5,15. 1 + 5 + 15 equals 21. 1*15*5= 75 so your answer would be 1,5,15

So represent the ages as x y and z with each being numbers

x+y+z=21
x times y times z=75
this is really tough for elementary school

one way is to find the factors of 75 or the numbers that add up to 75 and trial and error
use whole numbers becuase this is the world of math so

75=1 times 3 times 5 times 5
possible ages are
3,5,5
1,5,15
1,3,25
add them up

3+5+5=13
1+5+15=21 check
1+3+25=29

their ages are 1, 5 and 15

The sum of two numbers is 57. The larger number is 11 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

I'll tell u later

Step-by-step explanation:

Small number =x

Large number =11 plus x

Now from the question,

$x + 11 + x = 57$

Therefore 2x plus 11= 57

2x= 57-11=46

X=46÷2=23

Use the definition of the derviative to compute the derivative of f(x)= 1- 7x^2 at the specific point x=2.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

$f'(x) = -28 \ at \ x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{f(2+h)) -f(2)}{h} \\\\f(2+h) = 1 - 7(2+h)^2 = 1 - 7(4 +h^2 +4h) = 1 - 28 - 7h^2 - 28h = - 7h^2 -28h - 27\\\\f(2) = 1 - 7(2^2) = 1 - 28 = -27\\\\f(2+h) - f(2) = -7h^2 - 28h - 27 - (-27) = -7h^2 -28h -27 + 27 = -7h^2 -28h\\\\f'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{-7h^2 - 28h}{h} \\\\$

$= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h(-7h -28)}{h}\\\\= \lim_{h \to 0} (-7h -28)}\\\\= -7 (0) - 28\\\\= -28$

The first step in the process for factoring the trinomial x^2-3x-40 is to

jenyasd209 [6]

(x-8)(x+5)

First thing you do is put the X's into the parentheticals because it is x^2 meaning there are 2 factors with x's. Then, you wonder what factors of -40 could add to get -3. In this case, they are -8 and 5. -8 times 5 is -40 and -8 +5 is -3. Then, you just add -8 and 5 beside the x's in the parentheticals.
