Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


This isn't for me, my son asked me to solve this, and I don't remember high school math, seeing that it isn't my field of study.

Can you reupload the image to a free image hosting site (http://imgur.com/, imageshack.us, etc)? I can't view that image as I'm not a member of Math Help Forum.

Use the theorem that states that the measure of an angle, having vertex on the circumference of a circle, is half the measure of the arc subtended by the angle.
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
