Answer:

b = 0 OR b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off with, we know that this must be a quadratic equation because there's a "^2".

Firstly, we have to bring everything over to one side of the equation. This means we have to add 3b to both sides, as we want the right-hand side to be 0.

b^2 = -3b

+3b +3b

b^2 + 3b = 0

Secondly, we have to factorise. We need to see what number goes into both "b^2" AND "3b".

That is "b".

b^2 + 3b = 0

factor out b

b(b + 3) = 0

Thirdly, we have to use the Null Factor Law to find out what b equals. The Null Factor Law states that if an equation equals 0, then one of the terms must either be 0, or the negative of the other number.

Hence, there are two answers.

b = 0

b = -3

1. in the figure FL=5 and HL= 8 what is FM (hint Pythagorean theorem and radi of circles)

marta [7]

1- FM is 3

we know that FM and FG are radius of the circle. so:
FM =FG

so if we find FG by Pythagorean theorem, we find FM, too

FL (hypotenuse) is 5

HL is 8. GL is half of HL. so GL is 4

now we can use Pythagorean theorem to find FG
$4 {}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {5}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = {5}^{2} - {4}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = 25 - 16 = 9 \\ x = \sqrt{9} = 3$

2- x is 40

BAD is half of m DB

ADB is half of m AB

so BAD is 50

and ADB is 90

Then ABD will be:
$180 - (50 + 90) = 180 - 140 \\ = 40$

good luck
