Answer:

12, 13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the integers as:

x

x+1

x+2

The sum of their squares, so that would be;

(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509

write out the squares

x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509

combine like terms

3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509

inverse operations

3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509

                -5     -5

3x^2 + 6x = 504

factor

3x^2 + 6x = 504

3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504

Inverse operations

3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504

/3                       /3

x^2 + 2x = 168

Factor again

x ( x + 2 ) = 168

At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)

So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers

x = 12

x + 1 = 13

x + 2 = 14

Find the limiting value using L hospital​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression evaluates to the indeterminate form -∞/∞, so L'Hopital's rule is appropriately applied. We assume this is the common log.

  d(log(x))/dx = 1/(x·ln(10))

  d(log(cot(x)))/dx = 1/(cot(x)·ln(10)·(-csc²(x)) = -1/(sin(x)·cos(x)·ln(10))

Then the ratio of these derivatives is ...

  lim = -sin(x)cos(x)·ln(10)/(x·ln(10)) = -sin(x)cos(x)/x

__

At x=0, this has the indeterminate form 0/0, so L'Hopital's rule can be applied again.

  d(-sin(x)cos(x))/dx = -cos(2x)

  dx/dx = 1

so the limit is ...

  lim = -cos(2x)/1

  lim = -1 when evaluated at x=0.

_____

I find it useful to use a graphing calculator to give an estimate of the limit of an indeterminate form.
