Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
This is a puzzling one! The answer is indeed -3/4 but I was unable to prove it using mathematics appropriate to the "middle school" level. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
(To prove it I generated the first few terms of its Laurent series, a Calculus topic. The first few terms are -(3/4) + (41/64x) + and as x approaches minus infinity the term with "x" in the denominator goes to zero, leaving the constant value -3/4 as the answer. )
Thank you,
MrB
i'm not sure how to help with the second thing, but for what looks like a quizzes, i think it should be 186
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem that the angles of a triangle all add up to equal 180. So we find angle B:
180 - 82 - 55 = 43
So angle B = 43. Now we can use the Law of Sines to solve for side b:
Cross multiply to get
b sin(55) = 8 sin(43) and divide to solve for b:
so
b = 6.6605
