Let x=the smallest integer, x+1=the second smallest, x+2=the greatest.
x+x+1+x+2=141
3x+3=141
3x=138
x=46
46 is the smallest integer

Our three consecutive integers can be represented as

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

If the sum of our three consecutive integers is 141, our equation will read...

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 141

Now, we can simplify on the left. Once we simplify, our equation will now read

3x + 3 = 141

-3 -3 ← subtract 3 on both sides

3x = 138 ← divide by 3 on both sides

X = 46 ← smallest integer

Therefore, the smallest integer is 46.

What is the equation of the parabola?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Show Solution. Start by writing the equation of the parabola in standard form. The standard form that applies to the given equation is (x−h)2=4p(y−k) ( x − h ) 2 = 4 p ( y − k ) . Thus, the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.

Mistake in Line 2 : Was in the determining the values for a ,b,c

Mistake in Line 4 : Not taking the square roots of both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

First Mistake : Line 2

$a = x \\ b = 6 \\ c = 10$

Second Mistake : Line 4

$136 = {x}^{2} \\ not \\ 136 = x$

Correct Solution :

${x}^{2} + {6}^{2} = {10}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {6}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = 100 - 36 \\$

${x}^{2} = 64 \\ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = \sqrt{64} \\ x = 6$
