Elanso [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Simplifying

x2 + bx + 9 = 0

Reorder the terms:

9 + bx + x2 = 0

Solving

9 + bx + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.

9 + bx + -9 + x2 = 0 + -9

Reorder the terms:

9 + -9 + bx + x2 = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0

0 + bx + x2 = 0 + -9

bx + x2 = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9

bx + x2 = -9

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.

bx + x2 + -1x2 = -9 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0

bx + 0 = -9 + -1x2

bx = -9 + -1x2

Divide each side by 'x'.

b = -9x-1 + -1x

Simplifying

b = -9x-1 + -1x

The line with equation −a+3b=0 coincides with the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position and sinθ<0 .
Anna11 [10]
If a is the variable of the horizontal axis, then you can solve for b to get the equation of the line in slope-intercept form in the a,b plane:

-a+3b=0\implies b=\dfrac a3

i.e. a line with slope \dfrac13 through the origin, which means it is contained in the first and third quadrants. Since the terminal side of \theta has a negative sine, the angle must lie in the third quadrant.

Because the slope of the line is \dfrac13, you can choose any length along the line to make up the hypotenuse of a right triangle with reference angle \theta. Any such right triangle will have \tan\theta=\dfrac13, regardless of whether the angle is the first or third quadrant. But since \theta is known to lie in the third quadrant, and so \sin\theta and \cos\theta are both negative, you have

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac13\implies \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{-1}{-3}\implies \cos\theta=-3
