Answer:

a = 36 , b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

expand the right side using FOIL and compare coefficients with like terms on left side.

(x - b)²

= x² - 2bx + b² , compare to x² - 12x + a , then

- 2b = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

b = 6

and a = b² = 6² = 36

In ΔRST, s = 58 inches, ∠R=115° and ∠S=19°. Find the length of r, to the nearest 10th of an inch.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

365.9 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of Sin A can be found using the sine rule. the rule states that the ratio of the length facing an angle in a triangle to the sine of the angle is constant. As such,

a/Sin A = b/Sin B = c/Sin C

Where is a is the side facing angle A, b is the side facing angle B and c is the side facing angle C.

Hence,

58/Sin 19 = r/Sin 115

r = 58 Sin 115/ Sin 19

= 365.9 Inches

Find the gradient of the line 2y -8x = -2

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

gradient is 4.
y-intercept is -5.
No.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In order to find the gradient of equation, you have to make it into slope-form equation y = mx + b :

$2y - 8x = - 2$

$2y = 8x - 2$

$y = \frac{8}{2} x - \frac{2}{2}$

$y = 4x - 1$

So m represents gradient. In this question, m is 4.

2. Make it into slope-form equation :

$3y = - 15x - 15$

$y = - \frac{15}{3} - \frac{15}{3}$

$y = - 5x - 5$

In this question, y-intercept is b which is -5.

3. You have to substitute x-coodinate into the equation to see whether it is equal to y-coordinate :

$y = 2x + 10$

$let \: x = 3$

$y = 2(3) + 10$

$y = 6 + 10$

$y = 16 \: (incorrect)$
