What multiplies to -12 but added together equals -10

Mathematics

Let the two numbers be x and y, then,
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0
y= \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-(4\times(-12))} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{148} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm 2\sqrt{37} }{2} = -5\pm\sqrt{37}

Therefore, the two numbers are -5+\sqrt{37} and -5-\sqrt{37}

If the arc length of a sector in the unit circle is 4.2, what is the measure of the angle of the sector?
iren [92.7K]
Bear in mind the Unit Circle is called so, because its radius is exactly 1, thus just 1 unit, the Unit Circle

anyway    \bf \theta=\cfrac{180s}{\pi r}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\theta=\textit{central angle in degrees}\\&#10;r=radius\\&#10;s=\textit{length of the arc}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;s=4.2\\&#10;r=1&#10;\end{cases}\implies \theta=\cfrac{180\cdot 4.2}{1\cdot \pi }
