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.

the angle θ is 7.2 degrees, and the circle arc s is 800 km. knowing that there are 360 degrees in a full circle what is the circ
kumpel [21]

The earth is 40000 kilometers around. There is no need to round off because the circumference already contains significant figures.

How do I calculate a circle's circumference?

A circle's diameter is multiplied by to determine its circumference (pi). You can also determine the circumference by multiplying 2radius by pi (=3.14).

Given: theta angle (central) = 7.2°; arc length S = 800 km

This indicates that an 800 km long arc is extending a circle with a 7.2° center angle ( earth in this case).

By definition, "An arc's length is a portion of a circle's diameter."

Therefore, we must first establish what percentage of the circle the specified arc length represents.

360° is a complete circle.

Thus, the fraction equals 7.2°/360°, or 1/50.

As a result, the stated arc length (800km) with a 7.2° central angle is 1/50th of the entire circle.

Thus, the whole circumference is 800 x 50, or 40000 km.

Alternately, you can calculate circumference using the formula below:

360° center angle x arc length as the circumference (theta)

Values substituted: circumference 800 = 360° 7.2°

circumference = 360°, 800°, and 7.2°, or 40000 kilometers

Therefore, the earth is 40000 kilometers around. There is no need to round off because the circumference already contains significant figures.
