Answer:

-58, -57, -56

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first integer is x,

the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)

and the third must be x + 2

Therefore:

3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:

3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342

Combine like terms in parentheses

3 * (2x + 2) = -342

Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:

6x + 6 = -342

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = -348

Divide by 6 on both sides

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

-58, -57, -56

Check:

3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342

The question is:
saul85 [17]
f(x) = \sqrt{x+1} \\ y = \sqrt{x+1} \ or \ y^2 = x+1 \ or \ x = y^2 - 1 \\ Therefore, \ f^{-1}(x)=x^2 - 1

(fof^{-1})(a) = f(f^{-1}(a))=f(a^2-1) \\ =\sqrt{a^2-1+1}=\sqrt{a^2}=a \\  \\ (f^{-1}of)(a)=f^{-1}(f(a))=f^{-1}(\sqrt{a+1})= \\ (\sqrt{a+1})^2-1 = a+1-1 = a

Therefore, (fof^{-1})(a) = (f^{-1}of)(a) = a
