Answer:
b = 29.0; A = 123.9°, C = 20.1°
Step-by-step explanation:
The given angle lies between the given sides, so the Law of Cosines is the appropriate relation.
b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)
b² = 1681 +289 -1394cos(36°) ≈ 842.2303
b ≈ √842.2303 ≈ 29.021
__
The Law of Sines can be used to find angle C:
sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b
C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(17/29.021×sin(36°))
C ≈ 20.1°
A = 180° -36° -20.1° = 123.9°
The remaining side and angles are ...
b ≈ 29.0; A ≈ 129.9°; C ≈ 20.1°
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
By choosing to find the smaller angle C first, we avoid having to deal with the ambiguity associated with the arcsine when the angle is greater than 90°.

Answer:
1, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are alike numbers, add them together.
4x+x= 5x
Now the function is: f(x)= +5x-6
The function is in +bx+c form.
So find the factors of a x c = b.
Factors of -6(a) that fits (b)5 is (-1,6).
Then you just factor it:
f(x)= +5x-6
(x-1)(x+6)
x-1= 0 x+6=0
+1 +1 -6 -6
x=1 x=-6
Those are the real zeroes: 1, -6
