Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.

This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.

Answer: -2</h3>
===============================================
Explanation:
We use the remainder theorem. This is the idea where if we divide P(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is P(k).
Comparing x+1 to x-k shows that k = -1
It might help to rewrite x+1 as x-(-1) to get it into the form x-k better.
Plug this k value into the function
f(x) = 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 1
f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 3(-1)^5 - 1
f(-1) = 2(1) + 3(-1) - 1
f(-1) = 2 - 3 - 1
f(-1) = -1 - 1
f(-1) =-2
The remainder is -2
We can confirm this through synthetic division or polynomial long division.
