We are looking for the value of the second integer, so let's mark it as X.

Then three consecutive integers are : (x-1) , x , (x+1)

The sum of the first and the third integers (X-1) + (X+1)

Five less than three times the second integer 3X - 5

Now we can write an equation and solve it for X

 (X-1)+(X+1)= 3X - 5 simplifying left part

 2X = 3X -5 subtract 2X from both sides

0 = X-5

X=5

SO THREE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS ARE 4, 5, 6

Answer:

The three consecutive integers are 12, 13 & 14

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers be x, x + 1, x + 2

According to the question,

If sum of the first and third integers is increased by 8, the result is 5 less than triple the second integer.

\therefore x + x + 2 + 8 = (x + 1) × 3 - 5

2x + 10 = 3x + 3 - 5

2x + 10 = 3x - 2

10 + 2 = 3x - 2x

x = 12

So, The three consecutive integers are 12, 13 & 14

Apes are Old World primates. They are found today in Africa and Asia.

<h3>What is the group of Primates?</h3>

The primates are;

- New World monkeys

- Prosimians

- Old World monkeys

- Apes

The groups are;

A(t)=(t−k)(t−3)(t−6)(t+3) Given that a(2)=0 , what is the absolute value of the product of the zeros of a?
Ugo [173]
So using a(2)=0 we can first solve for k by substituting t for 2
0 = (2-k)(2-3)(2-6)(2+3)
0 = (2-k)(-1)(-4)(5)
0 = (2-k)20
0 = 40 - 20k
-40 = -20k
k = 2

The next step would be to find all the 0s of a.
0 = (t-2)(t-3)(t-6)(t+3)
T = 2,3,6,-3

Then we find the product
2x3x6x-3 = -108

Since the problem asks for the absolute value, the answer is positive 108
