The Law of Cosines features the 3 side lengths of a triangle, plus the measure of the angle opposite one of those sides.


We want angle x, which is opposite the side of length 39.


Then: a^2 = b^2 - 2ab cos C becomes 39^2 = 36^2 + 59^2 - 2(36)(59)cos x


or 1521 = 3481 + 1296 - 2(36)(59) cos x


Subtract (3481+1296) from both sides: 1521 - 4777 = -4248cos x

-3256 = -4248cos x

-3256

Then: cosx = --------------- = 0.766

-4248


Solving for x: x = arccos -0.766 = 0.698 radian, or 40 degrees (answer)

PLEASE HELP URGENT<br><br> Given \tan \theta =0.6, find the value of b.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

b=8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6

To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.

0.6=5.1/adj

to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)

so then you have

adj=5.1/0.6

adj=8.5cm

(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!

The polynomial p(x)=3x^3-5x^2-4x+4 has a known factor of (x-2)
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

3x^2-x-2 or (x+1) (3x-2) (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you have to divide:

(x-2)\sqrt{3x^3-5x^2-4x+4}

     

Hope this helps.
