Answer:

B = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 4xy − 48y^2

Factor out 2

2(x^2 + 2xy − 24y^2)

What 2 numbers multiply to -24 and add to 2

-4 *6 = -24

-4+6 = 2

2 ( x+6y)( x-4y)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{B=6}

Step-by-step explanation:

They are two way to solution.

<h2>METHOD 1:</h2>

Factor the polynomial on the left side of the equation:

2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x^2+2xy-24y^2)=2(x^2+6xy-4xy-24y^2)\\\\=2\bigg(x(x+6y)-4y(x+6y)\bigg)=2(x+6y)(x-4y)

Therefore:

2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x+By)(x-4y)\\\Downarrow\\2(x+6y)(x-4y)=2(x+By)(x-4y)\to\boxed{\bold{B=6}}

<h2>METHOD 2:</h2>

Multiply everything on the right side of the equation using the distributive property and FOIL:

2(x+By)(x-4y)=\bigg((2)(x)+(2)(By)\bigg)(x-4y)\\\\=(2x+2By)(x-4y)=(2x)(x)+(2x)(-4y)+(2By)(x)+(2By)(-4y)\\\\=2x^2-8xy+2Bxy-8By^2=2x^2+(2B-8)xy-8By^2

Compare polynomials:

2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2x^2+(2B-8)xy-8By^2

From here we have two equations:

2B-8=4\ \text{and}\ -8B=-48

1)\\2B-8=4        <em>add 8 to both sides</em>

2B=12         <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

B=6

2)\\-8B=-48          <em>divide both sides by (-8)</em>

B=6

The results are the same. Therefore B = 6.

Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

A vertical line can only pass through the x axsis not the y unless it was at 0 then it would pass through all the y points. A diagonal line can pass through (-5,1) but not a vertical choose x=-5 if you want it to be a vertical line going through (-5,0)

A ray and a line intersect to form ∠1 and ∠2 as shown below.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

STEP 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Francesca drew point (–2, –10) on the terminal ray of angle , which is in standard position. She found values for the six trigonometric functions using the steps below.

A unit circle is shown. A ray intersects point (negative 2, negative 10) in quadrant 3. Theta is the angle formed by the ray and the x-axis in quadrant 1.

Francesca made her first error in step 3 because the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are incorrect, which also resulted in incorrect cosecant, secant, and tangent functions.

please mark me brainlyest <i cant spell it >
