Find three consecutive integers whose sum is equal to 366

Let us assume that the first integer is n. Then the next
integer is (n+1) and the third integer is (n+2)


Given that
the sum of the three integers is 366


Then we will write as
algabraic expression.


==> n + (n+1) + (n+2) =
366


Now we will combine like
terms.


==> 3n + 3 =
366


Now we will subtract 3 from both
sides.


==> 3n = 363


Now
we will divide by 3.


==> n =
121


==> n+1 =
122


==> n+2 =
123


Then, the three consecutive integers are
121, 122, and 123.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
