This can solved using the cosine law which is:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ

Using the values given from the problem

6² = b² + b² - 2bb cos 112.62

And solving for b

36 = 2b² - 2b² cos 112.62

b = 3.6

The answer is the 3rd option.

COS Find the quotient when the polynomial expression is divided by a binomial Find the quotient ANSWER SOLUTION CHOICES X2+11x+
ryzh [129]

Answer:

x=−1 or x=−9

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+11x+10=x+1

Step 1: Subtract x+1 from both sides.

x2+11x+10−(x+1)=x+1−(x+1)

x2+10x+9=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(x+1)(x+9)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x+1=0 or x+9=0

x=−1 or x=−9
