6 0

Answer:

9, 11, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the smallest of the integers. Then n+4 is the largest of them. The given total is ...

n + 4(n+4) = 61

5n +16 = 61

5n = 45 . . . . . . subtract 16

n = 9 . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The smallest of the integers is 9, so the other two are 11 and 13.

Find in degrees the numeric value of the acute angle of rotation that eliminates the product term from the equation 7x2+24xy−34x

Rotating the graph of $Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0$ with $B\ne0$ counterclockwise by $\theta$ eliminates the $xy$ term, where $\cot2\theta=\frac{A-C}{B}.$ Plugging in, we have $\cot2\theta=\frac{7}{24},$ since $C=0.$ Solving, we have $\theta=\frac{1}{2}\cot^{-1}(\frac{7}{24})\approx\boxed{36.9^\circ}.$
