Solving for <em>Angles</em>

\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} = cos∠C \\ \frac{a^2 - b^2 + c^2}{2ac} = cos∠B \\ \frac{-a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2bc} = cos∠A

* Do not forget to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Solving for <em>Edges</em>

\displaystyle b^2 + a^2 - 2ba\:cos∠C = c^2 \\ c^2 + a^2 - 2ca\:cos∠B = b^2 \\ c^2 + b^2 - 2cb\:cos∠A = a^2

You would use this law under <em>two</em> conditions:

  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>third edge</em>
  • ALL three edges defined

* Just make sure to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

_____________________________________________

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under <em>three</em> conditions:

  • Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second edge</em>
  • One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second angle</em>
  • ALL three angles defined [<em>of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet</em>]

* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many roots exist for the polynomial function? f(x) = 8x7 – x5 + x3+6
valentina_108 [34]
According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the polynomial. The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of a term in the polynomial.
Looking at the function, the term with the highest exponent is 8x7. The exponent is 7; therefore, the function has 7 roots.

Help me please AS soon as possible please just this one question
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The largest side of given triangle is: AB

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the largest side, we have to find all the triangles first.

The two angles at point A will sum up to 180° as the angles on the straight line are supplementary.

So,

136 + Angle\ A = 180\\Angle\ A = 180-136 = 44

∠A = 44°

∠C = 71°

The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

Using this:

∠A+∠B+∠C = 180°

44°+∠B+71° = 180°

∠B+115° = 180°

∠B = 180°-115°

∠B = 65°

In a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle is the largest. In the given triangle, ∠C is the largest so the side AB which is opposite to ∠C is the largest.

Hence,

The largest side of given triangle is: AB
