Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to get the roots of the equation is to factorize the equation but when the factors are not possible then we should apply the quadratic equations formula to get the value of x.

Now we will try to factorize

x² - 8x -48 = 0

Now we multiply coefficient of highest degree term and constant term

48×1 = 48 which may be factored in 12×4. 8×6, 24×2.

Now we will choose 12×4 out of three because the 12-4 = 8 which is the coefficient of x.

Now its simple.

x²-12x + 4x -48 = 0

x(x -12) + 4(x-12) = 0

(x +4)(x-12) = 0

Therefore roots are x + 4 = 0

x = -4

and x - 12 = 0

x = 12

So the answer is 12.

Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an equation.

x²-8x-48 = 0

We have given one root of equation. We have to find the other root of equation.

We use method of factoring to solve this.

Splitting the middle term, we have

x²-12x+4x-48 = 0

Making groups, we have

x(x-12)+4(x-12) = 0

Taking (x-12) common, we have

(x-12)(x+4) = 0

Applying Zero-Product Property, we have

x-12 = 0 or x+4 = 0

x = 12 or x = -4.

Hence, the roots of the given equation are -4 and 12.

Perform the indicated operation & simplify. Express the answer as a complex number. ( 6 − 7 i ) ( − 8 + 3 i ) =___
slega [8]

( 6 − 7 i ) ( − 8 + 3 i )

First FOIL:

( 6 − 7 i ) ( − 8 + 3 i )  = -48 + 18i + 56i -21i^2

Combine like terms

                                 = -48 + 74i -21i^2

Convert i^2 = -1

                                 = -48 + 74i -21(-1)

And simplify

                                 = -48 + 74i + 21

                                 = -27 + 74i

AB is tangent to the circle k(O) at B, and AD is a secant, which goes through center O. Point O is between A and D∈k(O). Find m∠
drek231 [11]

Answer:

∠BAD=20°20'

∠ADB=34°90'

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is tangent to the circle k(O), then AB⊥BO. If the measure of arc BD is 110°20', then central angle ∠BOD=110°20'.

Consider isosceles triangle BOD (BO=OD=radius of the circle). Angles adjacent to the base BD are equal, so ∠DBO=∠BDO. The sum of all triangle's angles is 180°, thus

∠BOD+∠BDO+∠DBO=180°

∠BDO+∠DBO=180°-110°20'=69°80'

∠BDO=∠DBO=34°90'

So ∠ADB=34°90'

Angles BOD and BOA are supplementary (add up to 180°), so

∠BOA=180°-110°20'=69°80'

In right triangle ABO,

∠ABO+∠BOA+∠OAB=180°

90°+69°80'+∠OAB=180°

∠OAB=180°-90°-69°80'

∠OAB=20°20'

So, ∠BAD=20°20'
