The sum of three consecutive integers is 63. What is the lowest of the three integers?

1 answer:

3 0

One number be x
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=63
x+x+1+x+2=63
3x+3=63
3x=63-3
3x=60
x=60:3
x=20
smallest number = x=20
middle number = x+1= 20+1=21
largest number = x+2 =20+2= 22

Answer:

The value of x in centimeters is 22.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportion which means have equal ratios

∵ Δ ABC is similar to Δ FGH

∵ AB and FG are corresponding sides

∵ BC and GH are corresponding sides

∵ AC and FH are corresponding sides

→ That means the ratios between them are equal

∴ $\frac{AB}{FG}$ = $\frac{BC}{GH}$ = $\frac{AC}{FH}$

∵ AB = 6 cm and FG = 15 cm

∵ BC = 5 cm and GH = 12.5 cm

∵ AC = 9 cm and FH = x

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find x

∴ $\frac{6}{15}$ = $\frac{5}{12.5}$ = $\frac{9}{x}$

→ By using cross multiplication with the 1st and 3rd ratios

∵ 6 × x = 15 × 9

∴ 6x = 135

→ Divide both sides by 6 to find x

∵ $\frac{6x}{6}$ = $\frac{135}{6}$

∴ x = 22.5 cm

∴ The value of x in centimeters is 22.5 cm

15. JAGUARUNDI A jaguarundi springs from a fence post to swat at a low flying bird.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The discriminant, -14.71 < 0, shows that there is no solution of the equation, h = -16·t² + 22.3·t + 2, at the line 'h = 10' feet, therefore, the Jaguarundi height as she springs will not be up to 10 feet and therefore she will not reach the bird

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the equation that models the Jaguarundi's height, 'h', ma be written approximately as follows;

h = -16·t² + 22.3·t + 2

Where;

t = The time (duration) in seconds

The discriminant of the equation a·x² + b·x + c = 0 is b² - 4·a·c

When h = 10, we have;

10 = -16·t² + 22.3·t + 2

∴ 0 = -16·t² + 22.3·t + 2 - 10 = -16·t² + 22.3·t - 8

The discriminant of the given quadratic equation is given as follows;

The discriminant = 22.3² - 4 × (-16 × (-8)) = -14.71 < 0

Therefore, the function, h = -16·t² + 22.3·t + 2 has no real root at h = 10

The parabola does not reach or pass through the line h = 10 which is the height at which the bird is flying.

The Jaguarundi will not reach the bird flying at the height of 10 feet.
