If a = b /c-b , find the value of b when a = 3 and c = 10 *

Mathematics

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=8 becomes a=8-b

b+c=10 becomes b=10-c

c+a=12 becomes c=12-a

Now subtract two of the equations that contain the same variable. I’ll pick two that contain an a: c+a =12 & a+b=8. Subtracting the latter from the former eliminates the “a”s, leaving c-b=4. Adding b to both sides to isolate c gives c=b+4. From above we can take b=10-c to substitute for b in c=b+4, giving us c=(10-c) + 4). Simplify the right side to c=14-c, add c to both sides, giving 2c=14, & then divide both sides by 2 to obtain c=7.

Replace the c in b=10-c with 7 to have b=10–7, so that b=3.

You can choose which a to solve for. I’ll select a+b=8, substituting 3 for b to have a+3=8, subtract 3 from both sides, gives us a=5.

Finally add 5+3+7 together to find that a+b+c=15.

Ok maribelalmaraz2404 what’s this? Isosceles, Scalene, or equilateral?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

Since none of the sides are equal, the triangle is a scalene triangle

Isosceles would have 2 sides equal

Equilateral would have all 3 sides equal

Express the complex number in trigonometric form.<br> -6 + 6 sqrt3 i
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The trigonometric form of the complex number is 12(cos 120° + i sin 120°)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the complex number in Cartesian form and polar form

- The complex number in the Cartesian form is a + bi

-The complex number in the polar form is r(cosФ + i sinФ)

* Lets revise how we can find one from the other

- r² = a² + b²

- tanФ = b/a

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ z = -6 + i 6√3

∴ a = -6 and b = 6√3

∵ r² = a² + b²

∴ r² = (-6)² + (6√3)² = 36 + 108 = 144

∴ r = √144 = 12

∵ tan Ф° = b/a

∴ tan Ф = 6√3/-6 = -√3

∵ The x-coordinate of the point is negative

∵ The y-coordinate of the point is positive

∴ The point lies on the 2nd quadrant

* The measure of the angle in the 2nd quadrant is 180 - α, where

  α is an acute angle

∵ tan α = √3

∴ α = tan^-1 √3 = 60°

∴ Ф = 180° - 60° = 120°

∴ z = 12(cos 120° + i sin 120°)

* The trigonometric form of the complex number is

  12(cos 120° + i sin 120°)
