three odd consecutive integers are such that 3 times the smallest is 9 more than twice the largest .find the three numbers​

Answer: 17, 19, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive odd numbers: x, x+2, x+4 (since odd numbers occur every other number)

Just to show you that the numbers are x, x+2, and x+4, just say x is 13 then x+2 is 15 and x+4 is 17 (3 consecutive odd numbers)

Now the second equation:

3x = 2(x+4) + 9

three times smallest number (which is x) is equal to 2 times the largest number (x+4) plus 9

Now solve

3x = 2(x+4) +9

3x = 2x + 8 + 9

3x = 2x + 17

x = 17

x+2 = 19

x+3 = 21

I think we can use the identity  sin x/2  = sqrt [(1 - cos x) /2]

cos x -  sqrt3 sqrt ( 1 - cos x) /sqrt2 = 1

cos x - sqrt(3/2) sqrt(1 - cos x) = 1
sqrt(3/2)(sqrt(1 - cos x) =  cos x - 1   Squaring both sides:-
1.5 ( 1 - cos x) = cos^2 x - 2 cos x + 1

cos^2 x - 0.5 cos x - 0.5 = 0 

cos x = 1 , -0.5

giving x = 0 , 2pi, 2pi/3,  4pi/3  ( for  0  =< x <= 2pi)

because of thw square roots some of these solutions may be extraneous so we should plug these into the original equations to see if they fit.

The last 2 results dont fit so the answer is  x = 0 , 2pi Answer

4. Compute the derivative.

y = 2x^2 - x - 1 \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4x - 1

Find when the gradient is 7.

4x - 1 = 7 \implies 4x = 8 \implies x = 2

Evaluate y at this point.

y = 2\cdot2^2-2-1 = 5

The point we want is then (2, 5).

5. The curve crosses the x-axis when y=0. We have

y = \dfrac{x - 4}x = 1 - \dfrac4x = 0 \implies \dfrac4x = 1 \implies x = 4

Compute the derivative.

y = 1 - \dfrac4x \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = -\dfrac4{x^2}

At the point we want, the gradient is

\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=4} = -\dfrac4{4^2} = \boxed{-\dfrac14}

6. The curve crosses the y-axis when x=0. Compute the derivative.

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 4x + 5

When x=0, the gradient is

\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=0} = 3\cdot0^2 - 4\cdot0 + 5 = \boxed{5}

7. Set y=5 and solve for x. The curve and line meet when

5 = 2x^2 + 7x - 4 \implies 2x^2 + 7x - 9 = (x - 1)(2x+9) = 0 \implies x=1 \text{ or } x = -\dfrac92

Compute the derivative (for the curve) and evaluate it at these x values.

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4x + 7

\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=1} = 4\cdot1+7 = \boxed{11}

\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=-9/2} = 4\cdot\left(-\dfrac92\right)+7=\boxed{-11}

8. Compute the derivative.

y = ax^2 + bx \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b

The gradient is 8 when x=2, so

2a\cdot2 + b = 8 \implies 4a + b = 8

and the gradient is -10 when x=-1, so

2a\cdot(-1) + b = -10 \implies -2a + b = -10

Solve for a and b. Eliminating b, we have

(4a + b) - (-2a + b) = 8 - (-10) \implies 6a = 18 \implies \boxed{a=3}

so that

4\cdot3+b = 8 \implies 12 + b = 8 \implies \boxed{b = -4}.
