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.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

So, all you have to do is multiply 6 and 2.

In \frac{1}{2} If you add \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} it equals 1 whole.

If 2 \frac{1}{2} equals 1 whole. You multiply 6 by 2.
