Find the largest of 3 consecutive odd integers that have a sum of -75

1 answer:

3 0

Odd integers are 2 apart

they are
x,x+2,x+4

sum is -75

x+x+2+x+4=-75
3x+6=-75
minus 6 both sides
3x=-81
divide both sides by 3
x=-27
x+2=-25
x+4=-23

the largest is the farthest to right on a number line
largest is -23

What is the value of x

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first triangle which is triangle <KJL

Hypotenuse= 8✓2

Angle=30°

Opposite = ?

Therefore we will use Sine formula

Sin30° = Y/8✓2

Y=4✓2

For the second triangle which is triangle <JML

Hypotenuse= 4✓2

Opposite=X

Angle=45°

Therefore we will use Sine formula again

Sin45°=X/4✓2

X=4

The radius of the circle below intersects the unit circle at (Three-fifths, four-fifths). What is the approximate value of Theta

Fudgin [204]

The measured value of Theta is 53.1 degrees.

Given

The radius of the circle below intersects the unit circle at (3/5, 4/5).

<h3>What is tan theta?</h3>

The measure of the tan angle is defined as the ratio of perpendicular by the base.

The measure of the tan theta is;

$\rm Tan\theta=\dfrac{x}{y}$

Where the value of x is 3/5 and y is 4/5.

Substitute all the values in the formula

$\rm Tan\theta=\dfrac{x}{y}\\\\\rm Tan\theta=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{5}}{\dfrac{3}{5}}\\\\\\Tan\theta = \dfrac{4}{5} \times \dfrac{5}{3}\\\\Tan \theta=\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\theta=tan{-1}(\dfrac{4}{3})\\\\\theta=53. 1 \ degrees\\\\$
