Answer:
m = - 8 ± 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
m² + 16m - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
m² + 16m = 8
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the m- term )² to both sides
m² + 2(8)m + 64 = 8 + 64
(m + 8)² = 72 ( take the square root of both sides )
m + 8 = ± = ±
= ± 6
Subtract 8 from both sides
m = - 8 ± 6
In this question, it is given that An inverse trigonometric function is used to find the value of an unknown obtuse angle in a triangle. The inverse function returns the angle 68°.
Since the angle is obtuse angle, it means the measurement of the angle is greater then 90 degree. And to find the angle measurement, we have to subtract the given angle from 180 degree.
So the unknown angle is
And that's the required answer .
