Answer:

The numbers are 18, 13, and 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be represented by <em>a, b</em>, and <em>c</em>.

The sum of the three is 103. Thus, we can write that:

a+b+c=103

The second number is five less than the first. So:

b=a-5

And the third number is four times the first. So:

c=4a

Substitute:

a+(a-5)+(4a)=103

Solve for <em>a</em>. Combine like terms:

6a-5=103

Add five to both sides:

6a=108

And divide both sides by six. Therefore:

a=18

So, the first number is 18.

Since the second number is five less than the first, the second number is 13.

And since the third number is four times the first, the third number is 72.

Describe the end behavior of the function. f(x)=x^3+11x^2+35x+30
Lelechka [254]
To determine end behavior, we only have to look at the leading term.

First, the leading term is positive, so we won't have to negate anything.

The leading term has a power that is odd.

Since the exponent is odd, this means that the function goes to positive infinity as x goes to positive infinity.

This also means that the function goes to negative infinity as x goes to negative infinity.

Those are the end behaviors.

Have an awesome day! :)

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and −5, and whose leading coefficient is 4.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Standard Form: y = 4(x-1)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is the leading coefficient, so it should go in front. When making a standard quadratic equation, you must do the opposite for each of the roots (negative to positive, positive to negative.)

if you’re asking for a general form quadratic equation, then sorry, I am unable to help you with that :(
