Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
Solve
- 3x² + 12x + 36 = 0 ( divide through by - 3 )
x² - 4x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x = - 2 and x = 6 ← are the excluded values
The last one if I'm not mistaking
Answer:
It is an acute triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be much easier for you to see where I'm getting at if you draw a diagram.
Assume this triangle is labelled ABC where a = 14, b = 21, and c = 16.
cos A = (16^2 + 21^2 - 14^2)/(2(16)(21))
∠A = cos^-1(0.82291...)
∠A ≅ 34.6°
cos B = 16^2 + 14^2 - 21^2)/(2(16)(14))
∠B = cos^-1(0.024...)
∠B ≅ 56.8°
∠C = 180 - (∠A + ∠B)
∠C ≅ 56.8°
Since there is no right-angle nor is there an obtuse angle,
Therefore the triangle is an acute triangle.
