Answer:

  • <em>B. The grouping method of factoring trinomials involves rewriting the bx term into the factors that fit the particular trinomial, and factoring these four terms using grouping</em>

Explanation:

The description may be better explained by applying it to an example.

Example:

  • trinomial: x² - x - 30

  • the general form of a trinomial is a x² - bx - 30

  • comparing with x² - x - 30 the <em>bx term </em>is - x

  • then you must <em>rewrite the bx term, - x,</em> into two terms whose coefficients are factors of 30:

          Two numbers which add up - 1 and multipled are - 30. Those numbers are - 6 and + 5, because -6 + 5 = - 1 and (-6) × (+5) = -30.

           Hence, the two terms are -6x and 5x, and the expression rewritten is:

            x² - 6x + 5x - 30

  • <em>factor these four terms using grouping</em>:

            (x² - 6x) + (5x - 30)

            x(x - 6) + 5(x - 6)

            (x - 6) (x + 5)

Hence, the factored trinomial is (x - 6) (x + 5)

In which triangle is the measure of the unknown angle, x, equal to the value of sin–1(StartFraction 5 Over 8. 3 EndFraction)?.
almond37 [142]

The triangle is a right-angled triangle with a perpendicular side of 5 and a hypotenuse of 8.3.

<h2 /><h2>Given to us</h2>

\theta = sin^{-1}\dfrac{5}{8.3}

<h2>Sine θ</h2>

as we know that sine for any angle is the ratio of its perpendicular to the hypotenuse,  and trigonometry is only applicable to a right-angled triangle.

therefore,

\theta = sin^{-1}\dfrac{5}{8.3}\\\\sin \theta=\dfrac{5}{8.3}=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\

Hence, the triangle is a right-angled triangle with a perpendicular side of 5 and a hypotenuse of 8.3.
