In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.

For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is

a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9 

Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° =  11/sinB
B = 80.4°

9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°

The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4

Hello

This is a right angle as you can see by the small square at the bottom. So this means that it is 90 degrees.

Because we already know part of the 90 degrees, we can do 90-50 degree which leave us with 40 degrees.

So as we look at 8x, it needs to equal 40

- 8x=40 divide both sides by 8

- x=5

Hope this helps!

Answer:

\frac{x-3}{2x-3}. hole or removable discontinuity at x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well generally if you want the simplest form, you factor each the denominator and numerator and then see if you can cancel any of the factors out (because they're in the denominator and numerator)

So let's start by factoring the first equation:

x^2-5x+6

Now let's find what ac is (it's just c since a=1...)

AC= 6

List factors of -6

\pm1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm6.

Now we have to look for two numbers that add up to -5. It's a bit obvious here since there isn't many factors, but it's -2 and -3, and they're both negative since 6 is positive, and -5 is negative...

So using these two factors we get

(x-2)(x-3)

Ok now let's factor the second equation:

2x^2-7x+6

Multiply a and c

AC = 12

List factors of 12:

\pm1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm4, \pm6, \pm12.

Factors that add up to -7 and multiply to 12:

-3\ and\ -4

Rewrite equation:

2x^2-4x-3x+6

Group terms:

(2x^2-4x)+(-3x+6)

Factor out GCF:

2x(x-2)-3(x-2)

Rewrite:

(2x-3)(x-2)

Now let's write out the equation using these factors:

\frac{(x-2)(x-3)}{(2x-3)(x-2)}.

Here we can factor out the x-2 and the simplified form is:

\frac{x-3}{2x-3}

So we can "technically" define f(2) using the most simplified form, but it's removable discontinuity, so it has a hole as x=2. since it makes (x-2) equal to 0 (2-2) = 0.
