Use the cosine rule.
c=AB=7
b=AC=8
a=BC=3
a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc(cos(A)) 
=>
cos(A)=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/(2bc)
=(7^2+8^2-3^2)/(2*7*8)
=13/14
=0.9286

The function g(x) = 8x2 – 48x + 65 written in vertex form is g(x) = 8(x – 3)2 – 7. What is the vertex of g(x)?
maksim [4K]
The answer is (3, -7). If the function is written in the form y = a(x – h)^2 + k, the vertex will be (h, k). Let's write the function 8x^2 – 48x + 65 in the form of a(x – h)^2 + k. g(x) = 8x^2 – 48x + 65. g(x) = 8x^2 – 48x + 72 - 72 + 65. g(x) = (8x^2 – 48x + 72) - 7. g(x) = (8 * x^2 – 8 * 6x + 8 * 9) - 7. g(x) = 8(x^2 - 6x + 9) - 7. g(x) = 8(x - 3)^2 - 7. The function is now in the form a(x – h)^2 + k, where a = 8, h = 3, and k = -7. Thus, the vertex is (3, -7).

The lengths of the sides of a rectangle are 12.4 and 26. What are the measures of the angles between its diagonals? Round your a
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

129 and 51 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing a diagonal gives us a triangle  with the opposite side = 12.4 and the adjacent side = 26.

tan x = 12.4 / 26

x = 25.497 degrees.

The other angle will be 90 - 25.497

= 64.503 degrees.

One of the diagonal angles is  180 - (2*25.497)

= 129 degrees

and the other  is 180 - 129 = 51 degrees.

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? x2 + 5x + 6
lianna [129]

Factor out the trinomial. Find factors of x² and 6 that would, when added, give you 5x

x² = x * x

6 = 3 * 2

(x + 3)(x + 2) are your binomials.

To solve for x, set each parenthesis = 0

x + 3 = 0

x + 3 (-3) = 0 (-3)

x = -3

x + 2 = 0

x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)

x = -2

x = -3, -2

hope this helps

ANYONE IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!!!
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Y= -5/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular slope is always opposite (meaning if the original is negative, then it is positive and vice versa) and reciprocal (meaning the numerator and denominator of the original are flipped).

The y intercept I found by applying the slope to the point given.
