Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

You can get the three consecutive integers by using <em>algebraic expressions.</em>

Let's solve.

Let x be the <u>smallest even integer</u>.

Let x+2 be the second even integer.

Let x+4 be the largest even integer.

  • x+x+2+x+4 = 36
  • 3x+6 = 36
  • 3x = 36-6
  • 3x = 30
  • x = \frac{30}{3}
  • x = 10

Therefore, 10 is the smallest even integer.

x+2 = 10+2 = 12

The second even integer is 12.

x+4 = 10+4 = 14

The largest even integer is 14.

Let's check by adding the three even integers.

10+12+14 = 36

36 = 36

<em>It's correct. </em>

Write -12 3/4 as a decimal number
steposvetlana [31]

Divide 3 by 4 to get 0.75. Or change 34 into an equivalent fraction with a power of 10 in the denominator, because this represents a decimal.

<h3>- 12 + 0.75 \\  =  - 11.25</h3>

The function f(x) = −x2 + 44x − 384 models the daily profit, in dollars, a shop makes for selling donut combos, where x is the n
kakasveta [241]
A)
The vertex can be determined using the completing square method.
f(x) = -(x² - 44x + 384)
= -(x² - 44x + 384 + 22² - 22²)
= -(x - 22)² - 384 + 22²
= -(x - 22)² + 100
The vertex is (22 , 100) and this means that the maximum profit(due to negative sign of coefficient of x) is $100 and is achieved when 22 combos are sold
B) 0 = -(x - 22)² + 100
x - 22 = 10
x = 32
x - 22 = -10
x = 12
This means the shop gains no profit when it sells 32 or 12 combos, and this can be due to the production cost being equal to the money gained via sales.
