The equation in terms of x is x(x + 2) = 99 or x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

The pairs of integers are  -11 and -9 or 9 and 11

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the two consecutive odd integers be x and x + 2

Let "x" be the smallest integer

Given that product of two consecutive odd integers is 99

To find: an equation in terms of  x

Product of x and x + 2 = 99

x(x + 2) = 99\\\\x^2 + 2x = 99\\\\x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

Thus the equation in terms of x is found

Let us solve the above equation to find all pairs of integers

Solve the quadratic equation by grouping method

Middle term 2x can be written as 11x - 9x

\rightarrow x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0\\\\\rightarrow x^2 + 11x - 9x -99 = 0

Now group the terms,

\rightarrow (x^2 + 11x) - (9x + 99) = 0

Take "x" as common term from first group and 9 as common term from second group

\rightarrow x(x + 11)-9(x+ 11) = 0

Now take x + 11 as common term,

\rightarrow (x + 11)(x - 9) = 0

Equating to zero we get,

x + 11 = 0 or x - 9 = 0

x = -11 or x = 9

<em><u>When x = -11 :</u></em>

x + 2 = -11 + 2 = -9

Thus first set of two consecutive odd integers are -11 and -9

<em><u>When x = 9 :</u></em>

x + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

Thus second set of two consecutive odd integers are 9 and 11

Based on research by barsh and colleagues (2000), _____ genes appear to be related to body weight regulation.
Rainbow [258]
The answer is more than 40 genes. According to their research, these genes are transcripted into the DNA during the translation.One of these genes is called CYP19. Having more than one strand of this gene can possibly be the reason why people are slightly larger than the others.

The expression log 3 (x-4) is undefined for all values such that
suter [353]
Translate it

remember that log_a(b)=c translates to a^c=b
so we can say it equals y
so
log_3(x-4)=y translates to 3^y=x-4

we want to find the values of x that make it undefined
well, we know that 3^y must be greater than 0
so we do
it is defined for
x-4>0
add 4
x>4

it is defined for all values such that x>4

I need an answer to this asap... please ....just number 3
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

hence cos ( 2 A ) = cos 2 A − ( 1 − cos 2 A ) = 2 cos 2 A − 1


Step-by-step explanation:Well we know that for two angles A , B

it holds that cos ( A + B ) = cos A cos B − sin A ⋅ sin B hence for A = B you get cos ( 2 A ) = cos 2 A − sin 2 A But sin 2 A = 1 − cos 2 A

One angle on a parallelogram measures 155 what are the measures of the other angle
Neko [114]

Answer: 25, 90 ,90

Step-by-step explanation:

One angle on a paralel = 155
=> x+ y + z + 155 = 360
  x + y + z = 205    ; x + y ; y + z ; x + z = 180

x + y = 180
=> Z = 205 - 180
    Z = 25  Degree
x = y = 90 degree
