Given:


To find:
The obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
The given equations are


On comparing these equations with (i), we get


Angle between two lines whose slopes are
is

Putting
and
, we get



Now,
and 
and 
and 
, so it is an obtuse angle and
, so it is an acute angle.
Therefore, the obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines is 120°.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to find the ratio of the lengths.
According to the information given in the exercise, one the solids has edges of 12 feet and the other solid has edges of 24 feet.
Therefore, the ratio of the length of the smaller solid to the length of the is the following:

Now, the ratio to the volumes of the smaller solid to the other one is the following:

Then, knowing that the volume of the smaller solid is:

You get that the volime of the larger solid is:

171/3 is 57. the three consecutive numbers are 56, 57 and 58.
244/4 is 61. the even integers are 58, 60, 62 and 64
Move all terms to one sides
3x^2 - 14x - 5 = 0
Split the second term in 3x^2 - 14x - 5 into two terms
3x^2 + x - 15x - 5 = 0
Factor out the common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;
x(3x + 1) - 5(3x + 1) = 0
Factor out the common term 3x + 1
(3x + 1)(x - 5) = 0
Solve for x;
<u>x = -1/3, 5</u>
