<span>f(x)=<span>x2</span>−1</span>That means to find the value of the function at any value of x, we square x and subtract 1. If <span>x=2a</span>, we square <span>2a</span> and subtract 1:<span>f(2a)=(2a<span>)2</span>−1=4<span>a2</span>−1</span>Now, we know that <span>f(2a)=35</span>so we can find the value of a:<span>f(2a)=(2a<span>)2</span>−1=4<span>a2</span>−1=35</span><span>4<span>a2</span>−1+1=35+1</span><span>4<span>a2</span>=36</span><span><span>a2</span>=9</span><span><span>a=±3</span></span>
1.25 because 5/6 times 3 is 2.5 and that divided by 2 is 1.25
To find the area of a semicircle you would use the formula A=pie * r ^ 2 If you fill in 40 for r you would get 5026.5482
