The figure is a scalene triangle, and the exact length of side a is √13

<h3>How to determine the exact length of side a?</h3>

To calculate the length of a, we make use of the following law of cosine

a² = b² + c² - 2bc * cos(A)

Using the values in the figure, we have:

a² = 3√2² + 5² - 2 * 3√2 * 5 * cos(45)

Evaluate the expression

a² = 18 + 25 - 30

Evaluate the sum and the difference

a² = 13

Take the square root of both sides

a = √13

Hence, the exact length of side a is √13

A fourth degree polynomial with real coefficients can have -4, 8i,+4i, and as its zeros. True or false? Justify your answer.

liraira [26]

You didn't give the fourth zero, but the answer is still false. If you have a root or an imaginary number as a zero, then its conjugate is also a zero. So if 8i is a zero, then -8i must also be a zero, and if 4i is a zero, then -4i must be a zero, with those zeros and -4, the number of zeroes exceeds the number of zeroes that a fourth degree polynomial can have.

Solve for x. 4−(2x+4)=5
