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.

The directed lines have the form < x, y >

With the usual notation

right in x- direction → +

left in x- direction → -

up in y- direction → +

down in y- direction → -

21

EF = < 4, 1 >

22

FG = < 4, - 2 >

Complete each trinomial such that it can be rewritten in the form a(x+b)^2 or a(x-b)^2
scoundrel [369]

The value of the expression  in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

<h3>Vertex Form of a quadratic expression</h3>

Given the quadratic expressions

1.5x^2+6x+......

1.5(x^2 + 4x)

Using the completing the square method

The coefficient of x = 4

Half of the coefficient = 4/2 = 2

The square of the result = 2^2 = 4

The equation is expressed as:

f(x) = 1.5(x^2+4x+ 4) - 4

f(x) = 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Hence the value of the expression  in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4
