Answer:

15,17,19

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation : $x+(x+2)+(x+4)=51$

Solve the equation: $3x+6=51$

$3x=51-6$

$3x=45$

$x=15$

Since x=15 then the second number is 17 and then 19

What is the discriminant of the polynomial below? 2x^2+3x-7

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Option C. $65$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The discriminant of a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$D=b^{2}-4ac$

in this problem we have

$2x^{2} +3x-7$

$a=2\\b=3\\c=-7$

substitute

$D=3^{2}-4(2)*(-7)$

$D=9+56$

$D=65$

Write the equation

Shkiper50 [21]

$a)\ the\ slope-intercept\ form:\ y=mx+b\\--------------------------\\m=\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow y=\frac{2}{3}x+b\\\\the\ point\ (-3;\ 6)\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}\times(-3)+b=6\\\\-2+b=6\ \ \ \ \ |add\ 2\ to\ both\ sides\\\\b=8\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{2}{3}x+8}$

$b)\ the\ two-points\ formula:y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\-----------------------------\\the\ points:\ (3;-1);\ (5;\ 7)\\\\y-(-1)=\frac{7-(-1)}{5-3}(x-3)\\\\y+1=\frac{7+1}{2}(x-3)\\\\y+1=\frac{8}{2}(x-3)\\\\y+1=4(x-3)\\\\y+1=4x-12\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 1\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{y=4x-13}$

Well you could multiply 432 by 0.75, or you can divide it by 4 and then multiply it by 3. Either way your answer is 324.

Use 1% or 10% to estimate 93% of 149 A. 169.5 B. 13.5 C. 112 D. 135

irakobra [83]

93% of 149

10% of 149 = 14,9

93% of 149 > 90% of 149

93% of 149 > 149 - 14,9 ≈ 149-15≈134
> 134
⇒ the answer is D
