Two integers, a and b have product of -48 what is the greatest possible sum of a and b.

The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa: 48 x 1 etc.

To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative. To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor. So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

Calculate the length b to two decimal places.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

B. 21.64

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a triangle and we are asked to find the length of AC (b).

We will use law of cosines to find the length of side AC.

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab \text{ cos }\theta$

Upon substituting our given values in the formula we will get,

$(AC)^{2}=15^{2}+12^{2}-2\times 15\times 12 \text{ cos}(106)$

$(AC)^{2}=225+144-360\text{ cos}(106)$

$(AC)^{2}=369-360(-0.275637355817)$

$(AC)^{2}=369+99.22944809412$

$(AC)^{2}=468.22944809412$

Upon taking square root of both sides of our equation we will be get,

$AC=\sqrt{468.22944809412}$

$AC=21.6386101238993629\approx 21.64$

Therefore, the length of b is 21.64 and option B is the correct choice.
