Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan A = =
=
, then
∠ A = (
) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )
The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then
∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°
∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )
∠ B = 49°
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )
AB = ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
Option D. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to obtain the answer to the question.
Method 1:
Let 2x + 1 = 0
Making x the subject, we have
2x + 1 = 0
Collect like terms
2x = –1
Divide both side by 2
x = –1/2
Now, put the value of x into the expression 4x³ – 6x² – 8x + 7, we have:
4x³ – 6x² – 8x + 7
x = –1/2
4(–1/2)³ – 6(–1/2)² – 8(–1/2) + 7
4(–1/8) – 6(1/4) – 8(–1/2) + 7
–1/2 – 3/2 + 4 +7
– 4/2 + 4 + 7
– 2 + 4 + 7
= 9
Method 2:
Divide 4x³ – 6x² – 8x + 7 by 2x + 1
