Answer:

(-3a+-2x)(2a+-1x)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x2 + -1ax + -6a2 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-1ax + -6a2 + x2 = 0

Solving

-1ax + -6a2 + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-2a + -1x)(3a + -1x) = 0

Answer:

x = a/2 + 6.5 a^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-ax-6a^2=0

Assuming a is a constant, let's move the third term to the right:

x^2-ax=6a^2

Now we need to add something to both sides to make it a perfect square.

x^2-ax + _____ = 6a^2 + ______

We need to add a/2 ^2 to both sides. (This is a standard part of completing the square, wherein you add b/2 ^2. Like if you had 8x as your middle term, you add 16.)

x^2-ax + a/2 ^2 = 6a^2 + a/2 ^2

Factor the left side, because it's a perfect square now:

(x - a/2)(x - a/2) = 6.5 a^2

(x - a/2)^2 = 6.5 a^2

Take the square root of both sides:

x - a/2 = 6.5 a^2

x = a/2 + 6.5 a^2

How would you use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to determine the value(s) of b if the area under the graph g(x)=4x between
-BARSIC- [3]
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus regarding geometry states that 
\int\limits^b_a g{(x)} \, dx = F(b)-F(a)

Where F is the indefinite integral of g(x)

The first step is to integrate g(x)
\int\ {4x} \, dx = \frac{4x^{1+1} }{1+1} = \frac{4x^{2} }{2} =2 x^{2}

Then substitute the value of b and a=1 into 2x^{2}

[2 (b)^{2}]-[2 (1)^{2}] = 240
2b^{2} -2=240
2b^{2}=240+2
2b^{2}=242
b^{2}= \frac{242}{2}
b^{2}=121
b=11

Hence the limit of the area under g(x) is between a=1 and b=11
