Answer: 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,
x × (x+2) = 483
x² + 2x = 483
x² + 2x - 483 = 0
x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0
x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0
(x - 21) = 0
x = 0 + 21
x = 21
The smaller integer is 21
The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.
We know that the right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
<u>To find x:</u>
(10x - 20) + (6x + 8) = 180
16x - 12 = 180
+12 +12
16x = 192
----- -----
16 16
x = 12
<u>Check:</u>
(10(12) - 20) + (6(12) + 8) = 180
(120 - 20) + (72 + 8) = 180
100 + 80 = 180
180 = 180
<u>Angle (10x - 20):</u>
(10(12) - 20)
(120 - 20)
100
<u>Angle (6x + 8):</u>
(6(12) + 8)
(72 + 8)
80
With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.

Answer:</h3>
a. -(3√13)/13
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The cosine can be found from the tangent by way of the secant.
tan(θ)² +1 = sec(θ)² = 1/cos(θ)²
Then ...
cos(θ) = ±1/√(tan(θ)² +1)
The <em>cosine is negative in the second quadrant</em>, so we will choose that sign.
cos(θ) = -1/√((-2/3)² +1) = -1/√(4/9 +1) = -1/√(13/9)
cos(θ) = -3/√13 = -(3√13)/13 . . . . . matches your selection A
