Given the trinomial, what is the value of the coefficient 'b' in the factored form? . 2x^2 + 14xy - 36y^2 = 2(x + by)(x - 2y). b=

the coefficient of B is, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trinomial:

First Multiply:

Distribute the first term of the first expression to the second expression and second term of the first expression to the second expression

⇒

⇒

⇒

Now;

On comparing both sides we have;

Add 4 to both sides we have;

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

B =9

or

-4B = -36

Divide both side by -4 we have;

B = 9

Therefore, the coefficient of B is, 9

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
