Answer:

Prime

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 20x − 36

You must find a pair of numbers that multiply to give -36 and add to give +20.

The likely candidates are 2 and 18, and they must have opposite signs to give a negative product.

+2 × (-18) = -36; +2 + (-18) = -16

-2 × 18 = -36; -2 + 8 = +16

Neither combination gives +20 as the sum.

The expression can't be factored with rational numbers.

The expression is prime.

What is the length of AC¯¯¯¯¯ ?

Harman [31]

Answer:

AC = 12.38 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are 2 pairs given, we can use the sine rule to solve the problem.

By pairs we mean "an angle and side opposite to it"

1 pair is 85.2 degree angle and 13 cm, and another pair is 71.6 degree angle and the side AC (which we want to figure out).

Sine Rule is given by $\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b}$

where,

A and B are the two respective angles and a and b are the two respective sides (of the pairs). Plugging all the info and using algebra, we have:

$\frac{Sin85.2}{13}=\frac{Sin71.6}{AC}\\AC*Sin85.2=13*Sin71.6\\AC=\frac{13*Sin71.6}{Sin85.2}\\AC=12.38$

Thus, AC = 12.38 cm
