Aka absolute value hope that is what you needed
Let x represent the smaller. Then x+1 is the greater of the two.
... x+1 = 2x +20
... 0 = x + 19 . . . . . subtract x+1
... x = -19
Your two integers are -19 and -18.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming a number line:
rs + st = rt
3x-16 + 4x-8 = 60
7x -24 = 60
7x = 84
x = 12
Part 1
We want to find the tan of 88 degrees, 22' 45''.
88° 22' 45''
= 88 + 22/60 + 45/3600 degrees
= 88.3792°
From the calculator, obtain
tan(88.3792°) = 35.3409
Answer: 35.3409
Part 2
We want to find cot(36°).
By definition, cot(x) = 1/tan(x).
From the calculator, obtain
tan(36°) = 0.7265
Therefore
cot(36°) = 1/0.7265 = 1.3764
Answer: 1.3764
