What do we know about these angles? Immediately, you might notice that (4y-8)° and (16x-4)° share a line. The same is true of (16x-4)° and (14x+4)°. Any straight line forms what's called a <em>straight angle</em>, which measures 180°, so we know that, since they add up to form a straight angle, (14x+4)° and (16x-4)° must add up to 180°. We can use that fact to set up an equation to solve for x:
(14x+4)+(16x-4)=180
After you solve for x, you should look to solve for y. How can we figure out what y is? If you're familiar with the vertical angle theorem, you'll know that all vertical angles (angles that are directly across from each other diagonally) are equal. So we know that 14x+4=4y-8. You can use the value of x you solved for before to solve this one fairly easily, and then you'll have both values.
Answer: -185 (choice D)
=========================================================
Explanation:
- x = first integer
- x+1 = second integer
Note how x+1 follows immediately after x. That's what "consecutive" means by definition. An example of consecutive integers would be 7,8,9,10.
Adding those two said integers will lead to -371
first+second = -371
x+(x+1) = -371
2x+1 = -371
2x = -371-1
2x = -372
x = -372/2
x = -186
x+1 = -186+1 = -185
Note how -186+(-185) = -371 to confirm the answer.
The two consecutive integers that add to -371 are -186, -185. The larger of the two is -185 since it's more to the right on the number line.
Answer:
The last one.
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form equation of an ellipse with foci on the y-axis is ...
y²/a² +x²/b² = 1
where "a" and "b" are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes, respectively. If "c" is the distance from the center to the focus, then this relation also holds:
b² +c² = a²
For this ellipse ...
b² + 8² = 17²
289 -64 = b² = 225 . . . . . subtract 8²
b = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The equation of the ellipse is then ...
y²/17² +x²/15² = 1
