Let θ=(5x−12)∘\theta=(5x-12)^{\circ}, where xx is a real number. Answer the following questions with complete justification: (i) Write an algebraic expression for the angle that completes θ\theta to a right angle. (ii) Find the range of values of xx for which both θ\theta and the angle obtained in part (i) are acute angles. (iii) Prove that, for every value of xx found in part (ii), the two angles together form exactly a right angle. (iv) Discuss whether θ\theta possesses a completing angle if θ\theta becomes obtuse. Support your answer with suitable inequalities.
