Use the formula x+x+1+x+2 or 3x+3=170 to find x. x is the first number. Then add x+1 to find the second number. Then add x+2 to find the third final number.
x will equal 167/3 which is a decimal, so just plug it in to the 3 equations I mentioned above to find your 3 consecutive numbers. More questions? Just ask me!
Answer:
slope = -3
y-intercept = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + <em>b</em>
m = slope; <em>b</em> = y-intercept
y= -3x <em>- 2</em>
m = -3 = slope
<em>b = -2 = y-intercept</em>
Division yields
Now for partial fractions: you're looking for constants <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> such that
which gives <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 0, and 2<em>a</em> = -7, so that <em>a</em> = -7/2 and <em>b</em> = 11/2. Then
Now, in the integral we get
The first two terms are trivial to integrate. For the third, substitute <em>y</em> = <em>x</em> ² + 2 and d<em>y</em> = 2<em>x</em> d<em>x</em> to get
