Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.
-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer:
1/2 x^2 + 2x - 6 = 0
(1/2 x - 1)(x + 6) = 0
zeroes are 2 and -6
so the graph intersects x axis at -6 and 2
The only one to do that is diagram A
