How to factor expressions?
Find the G.C.F. and divide it into the terms of the expression you need to factor, like this:
. So I took the 12 and pulled it out of both terms, obtaining 
.
Answer:
4 √6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a few right triangles. We know that a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle. Representing the side without a value as z, we have:
m²+z² = (8+4)² = 12²
4²+n²=z²
8²+n²=m²
We have 3 equations with 3 unknown variables, so this should be solvable. One way to find a solution is to put everything in terms of m and go from there. First, we can take n out of the equations entirely, removing one variable. We can do this by solving for it in terms of z and plugging that into the third equation, removing a variable as well as an equation.
4²+n²=z²
subtract 4²=16 from both sides
z²-16 = n²
plug that into the third equation
64 + z² - 16 = m²
48 + z² = m²
subtract 48 from both sides to solve for z²
z² = m² - 48
plug that into the first equation
m² + m² - 48 = 144
2m² - 48 = 144
add 48 to both sides to isolate the m² and its coefficient
192 = 2m²
divide both sides by 2 to isolate the m²
96 = m²
square root both sides to solve for m
√96 = m
we know that 96 = 16 * 6, and 16 = 4², so
m = √96 = √(4²*6) = 4 √6
The Lagrangian is
It has critical points where the first order derivatives vanish:
From the first two equations we get
Then
At these critical points, we have
(maximum)
(minimum)
There are 360 degrees so divide 360 by 20 and get 18 degrees
3.5, it is the coefficient and describes how many n there are
