Therefore the first integer is 25
So our sequence is 25, 26 and 27 respectively
The integer closest to zero will thus be 25.

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the first integer.

Then the second integer will be (n + 1).

And the third will be (n + 2).

The sum is 78. Therefore:

n+(n+1)+(n+2)+78

Solve for n. Combine like terms:

3n+3=78

So:

3n=75

Therefore:

n=25

Therefore, the first integer is 25.

So our sequene is 25, 26, and 27.

The integer closest to zero will thus be 25.

Given that f(x) x2 + 3x 10 and g(x) = x – 2, find f (x) · g(x) and
lakkis [162]

Answer:

x^3 + x^2 + 4x - 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have assumed there is a + between the 3x and the 10.

f(x) * g(x)

= (x^2 + 3x + 10)(x - 2)

=  x^3 + 3x^2 + 10x - 2x^2 - 6x - 20

= x^3 + x^2 + 4x - 20.

I can't figure this out
andriy [413]
Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c


Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then 
−15 = 4a + 2b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then 
−5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5

Solving it we get that 
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

____________________

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)
