If a-b = 7 and ab = 8. Find the value of a^3 - b^3 (a cube - b cube)​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

511

Step-by-step explanation:

a-b = 7 ____eq 1

ab = 8 ____eq 2

a = 7 + b ___eq 3

a = 8/b ___eq 4

using simultaneous equations :

7 + b = 8/b

7b + b^2=8

b^2 + 7b - 8 =0

factorize it

b^2 + 8b - b - 8 = 0

b(b+8) -1(b+8)=0

b = 1 , -8

then a = 8/1 = 8

a =8/-8 = -1

a = 8, -1

so,

a^3 - b^3

= (8)^3-(1)^3

= 511

How do you solve this triangle by using the law of sine where
mars1129 [50]
Actually, when you know 2 sides and an included angle, you use the Law of Cosines. (and we don't know if theta is an included angle).
Solving for side c
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab * cos(C)
c^2 = 36 + 16 - 2*6*4 * cos(60)
c^2 = 52 -48*.5
c^2 = 28
c = 5.2915

Using the Law of Sines
side c / sin(C) = side b / sin (B)
5.2915 / sin(60) = 4 / sin (B)
sin(B) = sin(60) * 4 / 5.2915
sin(B) = 0.86603 * 4 / 5.2915
<span><span>sin(B) = 3.46412 </span> / 5.2915
</span> <span><span><span>sin(B) = 0.6546571451 </span> </span> </span> 
Angle B = 40.894 Degrees

sin (A) / side a = sin (B) / side b
sin (A) = 6 * sin (40.894) / 4
sin (A) = 6 * 0.65466 / 4
sin (A) = .98199
angle A = 79.109 Degrees

angle C = 60 Degrees

If j is 21 inches, k is 12 inches, and ∠M measures 62°, then find m using the Law of Cosines. Round your answer to the nearest t
Naily [24]

Answer:

m=18.7\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Applying the law of cosines

m^2=j^2+k^2-2(j)(k)cos(M)

substitute the given values

m^2=21^2+12^2-2(21)(12)cos(62^o)

m^2=348.39\\m=18.7\ in
