Answer:

b = 1.88 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the law of cosine

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cos B

Now we plug in the values of a = 2, c = 3 and ∠8 = 38°

b² = 2² + 3² - 2 × 2 × 3 cos 38°

b² = 4 + 9 - 12 (0.78801)

= 13 - 9.456

= 3.5438

b = $\sqrt{3.5438}$

= 1.88 units

Therefore, b = 1.88 units

Given that f(x) = 19x2 + 152, solve the equation f(x) = 0

Option A

The solution is:

$x = \pm 2i \sqrt{2}$

Solution:

$f(x) = 19x^2+152$

We have to solve the equation f(x) = 0

Let f(x) = 0

$0=19x^2+152$

Solve the above equation

$19x^2 + 152 = 0$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}152\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\19x^2+152-152=0-152\\\\Simplify\ the\ above\ equation\\\\19x^2 = -152\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}19\\\\\frac{19x^2}{19} = \frac{-152}{19}\\\\x^2 = -8$

Take square root on both sides

$x = \pm \sqrt{-8}\\\\x = \pm \sqrt{-1}\sqrt{8}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:imaginary\:number\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\x = \pm i\sqrt{8}\\\\x = \pm i \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2}\\\\x = \pm 2i\sqrt{2}$
