From clue 3, we know that the three numbers average to 15. This means we add up the three numbers x,y and z and divide by 3 to get 15. So one equation is (x+y+z)/3 = 15 which turns into x+y+z = 45 after multiplying both sides by 3.

Let's say that x < y < z. In other words x is the smallest number, y is the middle and z is the largest. Based on clue 2, this would tell us that z = 8*x (since largest is 8 times the smallest). We can replace the 'z' in the equation x+y+z = 45 with 8x like so

x+y+z = 45

x+y+8x = 45 ... replace z with 8x

9x+y = 45

Now onto clue #1. The smallest number x is a prime number and it is 1/6 times the size of the middle number y. Put another way, the middle number y is 6 times larger than the smallest number. We have this equation y = 6*x

9x+y = 45

9x+6x = 45 ... replace ywith 6x

15x = 45

x = 45/15

x = 3 which is a prime number

Now that we know x = 3, we can use it to find y

y = 6*x = 6*3 = 18

and then use x = 3 to find z

z = 8*x = 8*3 = 24

Therefore the three mystery numbers are 3, 18, and 24. Note how these three values add to 3+18+24 = 45 which you then divide over 3 to get 45/3 = 15. So the average of the values 3, 18, 24 is the number 15. This helps confirm the answer.

How can knowing the GCF and LCM help you when you add, subtract, and multiply fractions?
Stells [14]
<span>When you add fractions, the denominators must be the same, so you may have to generate equivalent fractions by using the lowest common multiple of all the denominators. For subtraction of fractions, you use the same method. When multiplying fractions, you can only multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together. </span>

Let the graph of g be a horizontal shrink by a factor of 16 and a reflection in the x-axis, followed by a translation 2 units do
kifflom [539]

The graph of g(x) obtained from the horizontal shrink, reflection and translation of f(x) by a factor of 16, across the x–axis and 2 units downwards is given by the function;

  • g(x) = -(16•x)² - 2

Please see the attached graph of g(x)

<h3>What is a transformation of a function?</h3>

The transformation of the graph of a function is the shrinking, stretching, reflecting or translating of the graph of the function

The given function is f(x) = x²

  • The formula for reflecting a function f(x) across the x–axis to get g(x) is: g(x) = -f(x)

  • The formula for shrinking of a function f(x) horizontally by a factor of 16 is g(x) = f(16•x)

  • To translate the function, f(x), 2 units down gives; g(x) = f(x) - 2

The graph of g(x), which is a horizontal shrink by a factor of 16, a reflection across the x–axis and a vertical shift of 2 units downwards, is obtained from the function, g(x) = -f(16•x) - 2 = -(16•x)² - 2

Therefore;

  • g(x) = -(16•x)² - 2

Please find attached the graph of g(x) created with Sheets
