Answer: The required value of f(3) is 81.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following function :

We are to find the value of f(3).
Substituting x = 3 in equation (i), we get

Thus, the required value of f(3) is 81.
Use the law of cosines to find a:

So to use the given numbers you get:

Which would come out to equal about 35.94
so a=35.9
-4.5 or -4.3 i’m not really sure i’m just estimating
