we use equation 1 first.
-2x -y = -9

-y = -9 + 2x

y = 9 -2x

We substitute value of y in equation 2

5x - 2 (9 - 2x) = -9

5x -18 - 4x = -9

5x - 4x = -9 + 18

x = 18 -9

x = 9

We now find the value of y

-2x -y = -9

-2 (9) - y = -9

-18 - y = -9

-y = -9 + 18

y = 9 - 18

y = -9

If m∠A = 56°, m∠B = 60°, and c = 8, what is the measure of side length b?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Using the law of sines:

$\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}$

Solve for b:

$\begin{gathered} b=\frac{c\cdot sin(B)}{sin(C)} \\ so: \\ b=\frac{8\cdot sin(60)}{sin(64)} \\ b\approx7.708 \end{gathered}$

Answer:

7.708

Complete the factorization of 3x ^ 2 - 10x + 8 3x^ 2 -10x+8=(x- Box x-4)

aniked [119]

Answer:

$3x^2-10x+8=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=(x-2)(x-\frac{4}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic polynomial is given by:

$ax^2+bx+c$ (1)

You have the following polynomial:

$3x^2-10x+8$ (2)

In order to complete the factorization you can use the quadratic formula, to obtain the roost of the polynomial. The quadratic formula is given by:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ (3)

By comparing the equation (1) with the equation (2) you obtain:

a = 3

b = -10

c = 8

Then, you replace these values in the equation (3):

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-10)\pm \sqrt{(-10)^2-4(3)(8)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{10\pm2}{6}\\\\x_1=2\\\\x_2=\frac{4}{3}$

Then, the factorization of the polynomial is:

$3x^2-10x+8=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=(x-2)(x-\frac{4}{3})$
