<u>Answer:</u>

Angle A = 39°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that there is a triangle ABC where a = 9, c = 5 and angle B = 120° and we are to find the measure of angle A.

But first we need to find the side b using the law of cosine:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2- 2a*c*cos(120)

b^2 = 81 + 25 - 2*9*5*(-0.5)

b=\sqrt{151}

Now finding angle A using law of cosine:

cos(A) = \frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2b*c}

cos(A) = \frac{151+25-81}{2*12.29*5}

cos A=0.7730

A=39.38

Therefore, the measure of angle A = 39°.

Simplify x+2/x^2+2x-3 divide by x+2/x^2-x
ira [324]

\dfrac{\frac{x+2}{x^2+2x-3}}{\frac{x+2}{x^2-x}}

If x\neq-2, then we can immediately cancel the factors of x+2:

\dfrac{\frac1{x^2+2x-3}}{\frac1{x^2-x}}=\dfrac{x^2-x}{x^2+2x-3}

Factorize the numerator and denominator:

x^2-x=x(x-1)

x^2+2x-3=(x+3)(x-1)

Next, if x\neq1, then

\dfrac{x^2-x}{x^2+2x-3}=\dfrac{x(x-1)}{(x+3)(x-1)}=\dfrac x{x+3}
