Answer: 7,8,9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a, a+1 and a+2. Therefore, based on the question, this will be:

= (a + 1)(a + 2) = 72

a² + 2a + a + 2 = 72

a² + 3a + 2 - 72 = a

a² + 3a - 70 = 0

a² + 10a - 7a - 70 = 0

a(a + 10) - 7(a + 10)

a - 7 = 0

a = 7

Since a = 7

a + 1 = 7+1 = 8

a + 2 = 7+2 = 9

The numbers are 7,8 and 9

What is the inverse of cube root x/3 +1

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

${f}^{ - 1} (x) = 3 {x}^{2} - 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the inverse of

$y = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{x}{3} + 1}$

We interchange x and y to get:

$x= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{y}{3} + 1}$

We solve for y;

${x}^{2} = \frac{y}{3} + 1$

Multiply through by 3

$3 {x}^{2} = y + 3$

Subtract 1 from both sides:

$y = 3 {x}^{2} - 3$

Therefore the inverse is

${f}^{ - 1} (x) = 3 {x}^{2} - 3$
