Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x³+14x²+6x = -2x(ax+1)(2x-3)

<em>Divide both sides by -2x(2x-3)</em>

\frac{-2x(ax+1)(2x-3)}{-2x(2x-3)} = - \frac{12x^{3} }{-2x(2x-3)} + \frac{14x^{2} }{-2x(2x-3)} +\frac{6x}{-2x(2x-3)}

ax+1=3x+1

<em>Subtract 1 from both sides</em>

ax=3x

<em>Divide both sides by x</em>

a=3

Answer:

The measure of angle E is 45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the measure if angle E, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

From the question, EF is the hypotenuse since it faces the right angle

EG is adjacent to angle E

so we are going to use the trigonometric ratio that connects adjacent to the hypotenuse

This trigonometric ratio is the cosine

It is the ratio of the adjacent to the hypotenuse

Thus,

we have it that;

Cos E = EG/EF

cos E = 6√26/12√13

E = arc Cos ( 6 √26/12 √13)

E = 45 degrees
