Find two positive consecutive integers such that the square of the first added to three times the second is 24

Answer:

3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Now,

The given statement is

x^2 + 3 \times (x+2)=24\\x^2 + 3x+6-24 = 0 \\x^2 + 3x-18 = 0\\x^2+6x-3x-18=0\\x(x+6)-3(x+6)=0\\(x-3)(x+6)=0\\x=3,-6

Taking x=3.

Hence, two consecutive odd integers are 3 and 5.

Find the measure of each angle using the triangle sum theorem and exterior angle theorem
Paladinen [302]

(please open my photo for reference as you read, I am a visual learner/explainer so it will make the most sense that way)

So the first thing you want to do is look at the exterior angle 130°. A straight line is 180°, and every Triangle's angular sum is 180°. How I think of it is that every straight line has a mini protractor on either side. It makes it a bit easier to understand.

180 - 130 = 50

You now know that two of the angles are 50°.

You now have two of the measurements for the triangle farthest to the left.

75° and 50°

75 + 50 = 125

180 - 125 = 55

a = 55°

Now that you have all the measurements for the first triangle, let's move onto the next one.

With two measurements for the second triangle, all you need to do is find their sum and subtract that from 180 and you will have the third measurement!

50 + 60 = 110

180 - 110 = 70

b = 70°


Finally, for the last triangle, you already have two of the measurements 60° and 85°.


85 + 60 = 145

180 - 145 = 35

c = 35°


Sorry if this explanation is a bit messy, it's hard to describe certain things without a letter or some kind of name to differentiate between them verbally.


I hope this helps! <3

What are the coordinates of the point on the directedline segment from K(-5,-4) to L(5,1) that partitionsthe segment into a rati
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
You can solve this either just plain algebra or with the use of trigonometry.
In this case, we'll just use algebra.
 
So, if we let M be the the point that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3:2, we have this relation:
KM/ML = 3/2
KM = 1.5 ML

We also have this:
KL = KM + ML
Substituting KM,
KL = (3/2) ML + ML
KL = 2.5 ML

Using the distance formula and the given coordinates of the K and L, we get the length of KL
KL = sqrt ( (5-(-5)^2 + (1-(-4))^2 ) = 5 sqrt(5)

Since,
KL = 2.5 ML

Substituting KL,
ML = (1/2.5) KL = (1/2.5) 5 sqrt(5) = 2 sqrt(5)

Using again the distance formula from M to L and letting (x,y) as the coordinates of the point M
ML = 2 sqrt(5) = sqrt ( (5-x)^2 + (1-y)^2 )   [let this be equation 1]

In order to solve this, we need to find an expression of y in terms of x. We can use the equation of the line KL.
The slope m is:
m = (1-(-4))/(5-(-5) = 0.5

Using the general form of the linear equation:
y = mx +b
We substitue m and the coordinate of K or L. We'll just use K.
-5 = (0.5)(-4) + b
b = -1.5

So equation of the line is
y = 0.5x - 1.5      [let this be equation 2]

Substitute equation 2 to equation 1 and solving for x, we get 2 values of x,
x=1, x=9

Since 9 does not make sense (it does not lie on the line), we choose x=1.
Using the equation of the line, we get y which is -1.

So, we get the coordinates of point M which is (1,-1)
