AB is the longest side, so ∠C is the largest angle.
use law of cosine: 16²=9²+12²-2*9*12cosC
216cosC=81+144-256=-31
cosC=-0.14352
C≈98

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle in ΔABC = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side in the given ΔABC is AB

And, The angle opposite to the longest side is largest

⇒ ∠C is the largest angle. in the ΔABC

So, we need to find the measure of ∠C

Now, Using law of cosine in the given ΔABC :

⇒ 16² = 9² + 12² - 2 × 9 × 12·cos C

⇒ 216·cos C = 81 + 144 - 256

⇒ 216·cos C = -31

⇒ cos C = -0.14352

⇒ m∠C ≈ 98°

Hence, The measure of the largest angle in ΔABC = 98°

Find the domain of the rational expression: x-3/2x-8
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x\neq4\to x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{4\}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x-3}{2x-8}

We know: the denominator must be different than 0.

Therefore

2x-8\neq0        <em>add 8 to both sides</em>

2x-8+8\neq0+8

2x\neq8             <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\x\neq4

Simplest form of the expression -2x2(x – 5) + x(2x2 – 10x) + x is
Andrei [34K]
You first simplify the expression using PEMDAS
-2x^3-10x^2+2x^3-10x^2+x
then combine like terms,
(-2x^3+2x^3), (-10x^2-10x^2), x
cancels out^
so the answer would be -20x^2+x

Abcd is a rectangle if DB=26 and DC=24 find bc
Anettt [7]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.

Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle

Where a and c = other two sides of triangle

Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:

Let a = BC

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )

a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )

a = square root of ( 100 )

a = 10

Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.

If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:

a = BC = 10

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

100 + 576 = 676

676 = 676

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.

Evaluate -6(x-2y) when x= -3 and y= -5<br> a. -42<br> b. 80<br> c. -80<br> d. -16
Vinil7 [7]
Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:
     
     -6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10. 

Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.
