Answer:

b=14

Step-by-step explanation:

the two labeled angles are vertical angles. according to the vertical angles theorem, they must be equivalent. therefore, we can set them equal to each other and solve.

5b=b+56

4b=56

b=14

5b=b+56
4b=56
b=14
The two angles are congruent by vertical angles. Set them equal and solve for b.

The sum of two positive numbers is 12. what two numbers will maximize the product g
son4ous [18]

Given two numbers x and y such that:

x + y = 12   ...    (1)


<span>two numbers will maximize the product g</span>

from  equation (1) 

y = 12 - x  

Using this value of y, we represent xy as

xy = f(x)= x(12 - x)

 f(x) = 12x - x^2

Differentiating the above function:

f'(x) = 12 - 2x

Maximum value of f(x) occurs at point for which f'(x) = 0.

Equating f'(x) to 0 we get:

12 - 2x = 0

 2x =  12

> x = 12/2 = 6

Substituting this value of x in equation (2):

y = 12 - 6 = 6

Therefore, value of xy is maximum when:

x = 6 and y = 6

The maximum value of xy = 6*6 = 36

Find the slope between the two points: (3,-2) and (4,7)
cupoosta [38]
To find slope given two points, there is a formula you can use: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Y2 stands for the second y coordinate and y1 stands for the first y coordinate. The same logic applies to the x's. Let's assume that (3, -2) is x1, y1 and (4,7) is x2, y2. Let's plug them into the formula.

(7-(-2))/(4-3).
7-(-2)=9 for total y value.

4-3=1 for the x value.

Now we divide them.
9/1=9. 9=m. M is the variable commonly used for slope. Hope this helped!
