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:
C. 54π + 20.25√3 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded area can be split into two areas: a sector and an isosceles triangle.
Area of a sector is:
A = (θ/360°) πr²
where θ is the central angle and r is the radius.
Area of an isosceles triangle can be found with SAS formula:
A = ½ ab sin θ
where a and b are two sides of a triangle and θ is the angle between them.
In this case, r = a = b = 9 cm. The central angle of the sector is 240°, and the vertex angle of the triangle is 120°. Therefore, the total area is:
A = (240°/360°) π (9 cm)² + ½ (9 cm) (9 cm) sin 120°
A = 54π + 20.25√3 cm²
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to find the area then divide that by 14
