Let the smallest number = x

The next higher number would be x +1

The 3rd number would be x +2

The sum of the 3 numbers: x + x+1 + x+2

33 more than the smallest number is written as x+33

Now you have:

x + x+1 + x+2 = x+33

Simplify the left side:

3x +3 = x +33

Subtract 3 from each side:

3x = x +30

Subtract 1x from each side:

2x = 30

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 30/2

x = 15

The three numbers are 15, 16 and 17

Answer:

$x_2 \approx -1.769$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $f(x)=x^3+x+7$

So $f'(x)=3x^2+1$

$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}$

Let $x_1=-2$

We are going to find $x_2$

So we are evaluating $-2-\frac{f(-2)}{f'(-2)}$

First step find f(-2)

Second step find f'(-2)

Third step plug in those values and apply PEMDAS!

$f(-2)=(-2)^3+(-2)+7=-8-2+7=-10+7=-3$

$f'(-2)=3(-2)^2+1=3(4)+1=12+1=13$

$x_2=-2-\frac{-3}{13} \\\\ x_2=\frac{-26+3}{13} \\\\ x_2=\frac{-23}{13} \\\\ x_2 \approx -1.769$

What is the width of the rectangle? Area: 24 3/4 Length: 6 1/2 Width:

Vesnalui [34]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{24\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{24\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{99}{4}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of a rectangle}}{A=Lw}\implies \cfrac{A}{L}=w~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ L=\frac{13}{2}\\\\ A=\frac{99}{4} \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{99}{4}~~}{\frac{13}{2}}=w \\\\\\ \cfrac{99}{4}\cdot \cfrac{2}{13}=w\implies \cfrac{99}{13}\cdot \cfrac{2}{4}=w\implies \cfrac{99}{13}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}=w\implies \cfrac{99}{26}=w\implies 3\frac{21}{26}=w$
