We are asked to find unknown or the missing number to complete the polynomial given in the problem which is x² + ?x -49. First, let us equate the number to be equal to zero such as it would become x² + ?x - 49 = 0. Next, we need to find the factors such that it would produce a difference of squares and these two factors are a = +7 and b = -7. Hence, the complete solution is shown below:
(x + 7) (x-7) = 0
perform distribution and multiplication of terms such as shown below:
x² + 7x - 7x - 49 = 0
Combine the same term such as we can either add or subtract +7x to -7x and the result will be equal to 0x.
x² + 0x - 49 = 0

Therefore, the missing number is 0. The answer is 0 which will result to x² +0x - 49.

Write a list of steps that are needed to find the measure of ∠B.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The measure of angle B is 41°.

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 113 = 67.

67 + 72 = 139.

180 - 139 = 41.

Passes through the points (−4, 2) and (12, 6)?

svlad2 [7]

<u>I'll assume you need to find the equation of the line that passes through those points.</u>

Answer:

$\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Line:</u>

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

$\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The given points are (-4,2) and (12,6), thus:

$\displaystyle y-2=\frac{6-2}{12+4}(x+4)$

Operating:

$\displaystyle y-2=\frac{4}{16}(x+4)$

Simplifying, the equation in point-slope form is:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)}$

Need help on these trig homework

allochka39001 [22]

8. The length of the support is 7. 9 m

9. The length of the conveyer is 12m

3. a = 59m

A = 44°

B = 52°

4. c = 88. 6 mm

b = 49. 1 m

B = 34°

<h3>How to solve the trigonometry</h3>

8. We have the angle to be 20 degrees

Opposite side = x

hypotenuse = 23m

Using the sine ratio

sin θ = opposite/ hypotenuse

$sin 20 = \frac{x}{23}$

Cross multiply

$sin 20$ × $23 = x$

$x = 0. 3420$ × $23$

x = 7. 9 m

The length of the support is 7. 9 m

9. The angle of elevation is 37. 3 degrees

Hypotenuse = 19 . 0m

Opposite = x

Using the sine ratio

sin θ = opposite/ hypotenuse

$sin 37. 3 = \frac{x}{19}$

cross multiply

$x = 0. 6059$ × $19$

x = 11.5

x = 12 m in 2 significant figures

The length of the conveyer is 12m

3. To determine the sides and angles, we use the sine rule;

$\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{b}{sin B} = \frac{c}{sin C}$

For side a, we use the Pythagorean theorem

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

$85^2 = a^2 + 67^2$

$a = \sqrt{89^2-67^2}$

$a = \sqrt{3432}$

a = 58. 58, a = 59m

To find angle A and B, use the sine rule

$\frac{59}{sin A } = \frac{85}{sin 90}$

cross multiply

$sin A$ × $85$ = $sin 90$ × $59$

make sin A subject of formula

$sin A = \frac{59}{85}$

$sin A = 0. 6941$

A = $sin^-^1(0. 6941)$

A = 44°

$\frac{67}{sin B} = \frac{85}{sin 90}$

cross multiply

$sin B$ × $85$ = $sin 90$ × $67$

make sin b subject of formula

$sin B = \frac{67}{85}$

$sin B = 0. 7882$

B = $sin^-^1( 0. 7882)$

B = 52°

4. To find the sides, we use the sine rule;

$\frac{74. 0}{sin 56. 6} = \frac{c}{sin 90}$

Cross multiply

$sin 56. 6$ × $c = sin 90$ × $74$

make 'c' subject of formula

$c = \frac{74}{0. 8348}$

c = 88. 6 mm

To find length b, we use the Pythagorean theorem

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

$b^2 = c^2 - a^2$

$b^2 = 88. 8^2 - 74^2$

$b = \sqrt{7885. 44 - 5476}\\\\ b = \sqrt{2409. 44}$

b = 49. 1 m

$\frac{74. 0}{sin 56. 6} = \frac{49. 1}{sin B}$

cross multiply

$sin B = \frac{40. 99}{74. 0}$

B = $sin^-^1(0. 5539)$

B = 34°
