Answer:

  • 8/3
  • -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The integral from a to 4 is ...

\int\limits^4_a {(3x-1)} \, dx =\dfrac{3}{2} (4^2-a^2)-(4-a) = 20+a-\dfrac{3}{2}a^2

We want the value of this to be 12, so we can write ...

  -3/2a^2 +a +20 = 12

  3a^2 -2a -16 = 0 . . . . . subtract the left side and multiply by 2

  (3a -8)(a +2) = 0 . . . . . factor

  a = 8/3 or -2  . . . . . . . .values of a that make the factors zero

The only possible values of a are 8/3 and -2.

Simplify the picture below

((x^2-3x-18)/(x+3))

The x+3 on top cancels out the x+3 on the bottom so all you have left is

x-6


Hope I didn't mess up for your sake!

Need help like right now.
denpristay [2]

Let's go:


Big triangle:

12 + 3x - 6 = 3x + 6

10 + 8 = 18


\frac{10}{18} = \frac{3x - 6}{3x + 6} \\\\ 10.(3x + 6) = 18.(3x - 6) \\\ 30x + 60 = 54x - 108 \\\ 54x - 30x = 60 + 108 \\\ 24x = 168 \\\ x = 7


I hope I helped you.
