The sum of three consecutive integers is - 126. What are the integers?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the three consecutive integers be x , x+1 ,x+2
Given, sum of three consecutive integers = -126
x +x+1+ x+2 = -126
3x +3 = -126
3x = -126 -3
3x = -129
x = -129/3
x = - 43
x +1 = -42
x +2 = -41

For all the values of x, f(x)=x²+3 g(x)=2x-1 a) find fg(2) b) find gf(2)

erik [133]

Answer:

12 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To evaluate f(g(2)), evaluate g(2) then use the value obtained to evaluate f(x)

g(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3, then

f(3) = 3² + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

--------------------------------------------

(b)

To evaluate g(f(2)), evaluate f(2) the use the value obtained to evaluate g(x)

f(2) = 2² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7, then

g(7) = 2(7) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

Andrea was watching her brother in the ocean and noticed that the waves were coming into the beach at a frequency of 0.367347 Hz

Answer:

18 waves hit the beach in 49 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The frequency of the waves that were coming into the beach is 0.367347 Hz.

Now, to find the number of waves that hit the beach in 49 s.

Let the number of waves be $n.$

The frequency of waves ( $f$ ) = 0.367347 Hz.

The time it takes to hit the beach ( $t$ ) = 49 s.

Now, we put formula to get the number of waves:

$f=\frac{n}{t} \\\\0.367347=\frac{n}{49} \\\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 49\ we\ get:\\\\18.000003=n\\\\n=18.000003.$

The number of waves = 18.

Therefore, 18 waves hit the beach in 49 s.

For this case we have that by definition, the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

$y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})$

Where:

m: It's the slope

$(x_ {0}, y_ {0}):$ It is a point through which the line passes

According to the statement data we have:

$m = 5\\(x_ {0}, y_ {0}): (- 8,1)$

Substituting we have:

$y-1 = 5 (x - (- 8))$

By law of signs of multiplication we have to:

$- * - = +\\y-1 = 5 (x + 8)$

Answer:

The requested equation is: $y-1 = 5 (x + 8)$
