Using the law os cosines formula b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B)

a = 17, b = 8, c = 16

8^2 = 17^2 + 16^2 - 2*17*16* cos(B)

64 = 289 + 256 - 544 * cos(B)

544*cos(B) = 289 + 256 - 64

544 * cos(B) = 481

cos (B) = 481/544

B = arccos(481/544)

B = 27.8 degrees

Answer:  " 2x (2x - 1) (x + 1) " .

______________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

______________________________________

Given:  

  f(x)   =  9x³ + 2x² − 5x  + 4  ;

  g(x)  =  5x³ − 7x + 4 ;

______________________________________

What is:  f(x) − g(x) ?

______________________________________

Plug in:  " 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 "  for:  " f(x) " ;

    and:   " (5x³ − 7x + 4) " ;  for:  "g(x)" ;

______________________________________

→  " f(x) − g(x)   =  

   

       " 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4  − (5x³ − 7x + 4) "  .

______________________________________

Rewrite this expression as:

 →  " 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4  − 1(5x³ − 7x + 4) "  .

 →   {since:  " 1 " ;  multiplied by "any value" ;  is equal to that same value.}.

______________________________________

Now, let us example the following portion of the expression:

______________________________________

 "  − 1(5x³ − 7x + 4) "

_____________________________________

Note the "distributive property"  of multiplication:

______________________________________

    →   a(b + c) = ab + ac ;

______________________________________

Likewise:

     →  a(b + c + d) = ab + ac + ad .

______________________________________

As such:

______________________________________

    →  "  − 1(5x³ − 7x + 4)  "  ;

______________________________________

             =   (-1 * 5x³) + (-1 * 7x) + (-1 * 4) ;

             =  - 5x³  +  (-7x)  +  (-4)  ;

             =   - 5x³  − 7x − 4  ;

_____________________________________

Now, add the "beginning portion of the expression" ; that is:

  " f(x) " ;  to the expression ;  which is:

                        →   9x³ + 2x² − 5x  +  4  ;

 →  as follows:  

_______________________________________

 →  9x³ + 2x² − 5x  +  4 − 5x³ − 7x − 4  ;

 →  {Note that the:  " - " sign; that is;

       the "negative sign", in the term:  " -5x³ " ;

       becomes a: " − " sign; that is; a "minus sign" .}.

______________________________________

Now, combine the "like terms" of this expression; as follows:

  + 9x³  −  5x³  =  + 4x³ ;

 − 5x − 7x  =  − 2x ;

 + 4 − 4 = 0 ;

______________________________________

and we have:

______________________________________

 →     " 4x³  +  2x²  − 2x ".

______________________________________

Now, to write this answer in "factored form" :

Note that among all 3 (three) terms in this expression, each term has a factor of "2" .  The lowest coefficient among these 3 (three) terms is "2" ;  so we can "factor out" a "2".  

Also, each of the 3 (three) terms in this fraction is a coefficient to a variable.  That variable takes the form of "x".  The term in this expression  with the variable, "x";  with the lowest degree has the variable: "x" (i.e. "x¹ = x" ) ;  so we can "factor out a "2x" (rather than just the number, "2".).

So, by factoring out a "2x" ;  take the first term [among the 3 (three) terms in the expression] —which is:  "4x³ " .

2x * (?)  = 4x³  ?  ;'

↔  \frac{4x^3}{2x} = ? ;

→  4/2 = 2 ;

\frac{x^{3}}{x} = \frac{x^3}{x^1}  = x^{(3-1)} =  x^{2} ;  

As such:   2x * (2x²)  =  4x³ ;

___________________________________________

Now, by factoring out a "2x" ;  take the second term [among the 3 (three) terms in the expression] — which is:  "2x² " .

2x * (?) = 2x²  ? ;

↔   \frac{2x^{2}}{2x} =  ?

→  2/2 = 1 ;

→  \frac{x^{2}}{x} = \frac{x^2}{x^1}= x^{(2-1)} } = x^1 = x ;

As such:  2x * (x) = 2x²

__________________________________________

Now, by factoring out a "2x" ;  take the third term [among the 3 (three) terms in the expression] — which is:  " − 2x " .

2x * (?) =  - 2x ;

↔  \frac{-2x}{2x} = -1 ;

As such:  2x * (-1) =  − 2x .  

__________________________________________

So:

__________________________________________

Given the simplified expression:

 →     " 4x³  +  2x²  − 2x " ;

We can "factor out' a:  " 2x " ;  and write the this answer is: "factored form" ; as:

__________________________________________

  "2x (2x²  +  x  −  1 ) . "

Now, we can further factor the:

    " (2x²  +  x  −  1) " ; portion;

Note:  "(2x² + x - 1)" =

2x² + 2x - 1x -1 = (2x -1) + x (2x - 1 ) =

(2x - 1)  ( x + 1)

_______________________________________

Now, bring down the "2x" ; and write the Full "factored form" ; as follows:

_______________________________________

    →   " 2x (2x - 1) (x + 1) "  .

_______________________________________

Hope this helps!

 Wishing you the best!

What are the solutions of the equation 9x4 – 2x2 – 7 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.x = + √7/9 and x = ±1 x = + √7/9 and x = ±
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9x⁴ – 2x² – 7 = 0

Let's say that u = x²:

9u² – 2u – 7 = 0

Factor:

(u – 1) (9u + 7) = 0

u = 1, -7/9

Since u = x²:

x² = 1, -7/9

x = ±1, ±i √(7/9)

What best describes the area of a polygon
never [62]

Answer:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.

The area of a polygon is the two-dimensional set of all points surrounded by the sides of the polygon.

If you're looking for an equation, it varies based on the number of sides and the shape of the polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem

A regular polygon is equilateral (it has equal sides) and equiangular (it has equal angles). To find the area of a regular polygon, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the polygon’s center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side (segment HM in the following figure is an apothem).
