Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle B is formed by the intersection of the lines a and c. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of b. The cosine rule is:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).

The question specifies that c=71, B=123°, and a=65. Plugging in the values:

b^2 = 65^2 + 71^2 - 2(65)(71)*cos(123°).

Simplifying gives:

b^2 = 14293.0182932.

Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 119.6 (rounded to the one decimal place).

This means that the Option D is the correct choice!!!

Find the quotient. (5x4 – 3x2 4) ÷ (x 1)

Vlada [557]

Keywords:

<em>Divide, polynomial, quotient, divisor, dividend, rest </em>

For this case, we must find the quotient by dividing the polynomial $(5x ^ 4-3x ^ 2 + 4)\ by\ (x + 1)$ . We must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until it reaches the rest, as shown in the attached figure. At the end of the division, to verify we must bear in mind that:

$Dividend = Quotient * Divider + Remainder$

Setler [38]

Her friend's house is 1/12 miles away from her house.

Since 1/4 miles is 1/3 of the way, 1/4 x 1/3 = 1/12.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential fox) 2x2 +2x 24.roots of -4, -3, 2, 3, 4Which are actual roo

aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

$2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4$

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.
