Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be n,

then the three numbers are n, n+1 and n+2

Therefore, n+(n+1)+(n+2)=120

Collecting like terms,

n+n+n=120-1-2

3n=117

n=117/3

n=39

Therefore the numbers are 39,40 and 41.

And the smallest number is 39.

Answer:

Radius= 8.99 mm (9 mm)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for the volume of a cone which is

1/3 pi ×(radius)^2 *height

932.58 = (pi) × (11) ×(r^2/3)

Radius^2 = (932.58×3) / (11pi)

= 80.96m

Radius= 8.99mm

What is the range of the reciprocal function ?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the set of y-values for which the function is defined.

** Attached is the graph of the function

By looking at the graph, we can clearly see that there aren't any y-values that is not permitted in the graph. The function is defined for all y-values. Hence the range is set of all real numbers, or, the range is (-∞, +∞)

Answer choice B is right.
