Consecutive even integers =   x,  x + 2

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 24               Since width x, was decreased by 3.

If we test x = 6,    (6 - 3)(6 + 2) =   3*(8) = 24

So to    (x - 3)(x + 2) = 24,   x = 6 satisfies it.

The original rectangle = x,  x + 2 =   6,  6 + 2 =    6,   8

Original area = 6*8 = 48 square inches

How do you verify this trigonometric identity? cos^2 θcot^2 θ = cot^2 θ - cos^2 θ
sattari [20]
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Replace cos^2(θ) with 1-sin^2(θ), and cot(θ) with cos(θ)/sin(θ).

  cos^2(θ)cot^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) - cos^2(θ)

  (1 -sin^2(θ))cot^2(θ) =  . . . . . replace cos^2 with 1-sin^2

  cot^2(θ) -sin^2(θ)·cos^2(θ)/sin^2(θ) = . . . . . replace cot with cos/sin

  cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) . . . as desired

An object is translated by ( x + 4, y - 2). If one point in the image has the coordinates (5, -3), what would be the coordinates
Nikolay [14]
To find the pre-image we work backwards. Since the coordinates one of the translated image is (5,-3) and this image was translated with the formula (x+4, y-2), then we can just work backwords. 
(x-4, y+2) --> (5-4,-3+2) -->(1,-1)
The correct answer is (1,-1)
