The value of a can be obtained by substituting 1 to the equation and equating p(1) = 0.

p(x) = x2a - 3xa + 3x2 -1

p(1) = a - 3a +3 -1 = 0

therefore a =1

the equation now becomes p(x) = x2 - 3x + 3x2 -1

Answer:

$C=69.1^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines is given as:

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C$ .

Plugging in given values, we get:

$16^2=8^2+17^2-2\cdot 8\cdot 17\cdot \cos C,\\\cos C=\frac{-97}{-272},\\C=\arccos(\frac{97}{272}),\\C=\fbox{$69.1^{\circ}$}$ .
