Answer:
332, 333, 334
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we acknowledge that the equation that we need to solve will be "x+(x+1)+(x+2)=999" This is because x represents the smallest of three consecutive numbers whose sum is 999. Simplifying this equation will leave us with 3x+3=999 which is simplified further to 3x=996 and again simplified to x=332. X is the smallest number of the three.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
I don't think you need the quadratic formula for this equation. It just factors into (b - 2)(b - 2), but I'll do it because you requested it.
Formula
Givens
a = 1
b = - 4
c = 4
Solution
x = - - 4 +/- sqrt((-4^2) - 4*1*4)
====================
2*1
x = 4 +/- sqrt (16 - 16)
==========
2
x = 4/2
x = 2
There are 2 roots but both of them are the same. Some teachers say there is only 1 root. I'm in that group.

Answer:
2√30 ∠-120°
Step-by-step explanation:
The modulus is ...
√((-√30)² +(-3√10)²) = √(30 +90) = √120 = 2√30
The argument is ...
arctan(-3√10/-√30) = arctan(√3) = -120° . . . . a 3rd-quadrant angle
The polar form of the number can be written as ...
(2√30)∠-120°
_____
<em>Additional comments</em>
Any of a number of other formats can be used, including ...
(2√30)cis(-120°)
(2√30; -120°)
(2√30; -2π/3)
2√30·e^(i4π/3)
Of course, the angle -120° (-2π/3 radians) is the same as 240° (4π/3 radians).

At least one app I use differentiates between (x, y) and (r; θ) by the use of a semicolon to separate the modulus and argument of polar form coordinates. I find that useful, as a pair of numbers (10.95, 4.19) by itself does not convey the fact that it represents polar coordinates. As you may have guessed, my personal preference is for the notation 10.95∠4.19. (The lack of a ° symbol indicates the angle is in radians.)
To my knowledge (im not the smartest person lol) I would say no he cannot
