Answer:

$-26,-24,-22$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>The correct question is</u></em>

The sum of three consecutive even integers is -72. what are the three numbers

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even integer

x+2 ----> the second consecutive even integer

x+4 ----> the third consecutive even integer

we know that

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)=-72$

solve for x

$3x+6=-72\\3x=-78\\x=-26$

$x+2=-26+2=-24$

$x+4=-26+4=-22$

therefore

the numbers are

$-26,-24,-22$

Answer:

(8√2) / 15

Step-by-step explanation:

A curve bounded by the y-axis is represented by in terms of dy;

$\int \:x\:dt$

When the curve crosses the y-axis, x will be 0. In this case x is the function of t, so we have to solve for x(t) = 0;

0 = t^2 + 2t --- (1)

Solution(s) => t = 0, t = 2

dy = (1/2 * 1/√t)dt --- (2)

Our solutions (0, 2) are our limits. The area of the curve is in the form $A\:=\:\int _b^a\:f\left(t\right)g'\left(t\right)dt$ , so now let's introduce the limits of integration, x(t) and dy/dt. Remember, dy/dt = (1/2 * 1/√t) (second equation). 1/2 * 1/√t can be rewritten as 1/2 * t^(-1/2)....

$A\:=\:\int _2^0\:\left(t^2-2t\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right)dt\\\\= \int _2^0\:\left(\frac{1}{2}t^{\frac{3}{2}}-t^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)dt\\\\= \left[\frac{t^{\frac{5}{2}}}{5}-\frac{2t^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}\right]_2^0\\\\= 0\:-\:\left(\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{5}-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}\right)\\\\= \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{15}$

Your solution is 8√2 / 15
