Answer:

a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) is the same thing as "y". Our point gives us an x and y value, so we will sub those into the equation and solve for a:

-2 = a(1/3) - 7 and

-2 = 1/3a - 7 and

5 = 1/3a so

a = 15

(x+7)^2+9=0<br><br> Find x with quadratics

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x = -7 ±3i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+7)^2+9=0

Subtract 9 from each side

(x+7)^2+9-9=0-9

(x+7)^2=-9

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+7)^2) = ±sqrt(-9)

We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x+7 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(9)

We know that sqrt(-1) is the imaginary number i

x+7 = ±i *3

x+7 =±3i

Subtract 7 from each side

x+7-7 = -7 ±3i

x = -7 ±3i
