There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial amount invested is P0
Say it is compounded periodically either quarterly or monthly or semi annually with interest r%
If for a period interest is r%
Then after first period principal = principal+simple interest
=
where n is the no of times in a year it is compounded. n = 4 if quarterly, 12 if annually, etc
At the end of II period we have
Principal =
So for interest again the process is repeated
Thus we repeat this nt times which result in power with nt
Hence the formula
Divide the whole numbers:
2.04 / -2 = -1.02
When Dividing scientific notation, subtract the exponents from each other:
-9 - -5 = -9 +5 = -4
The answer becomes -1.02 x 10^-4
