Answer:

a = -2 or a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want f(a) = a^2 + 7a + 12 = 2. We can subtract 2 from both sides of this equation to get a^2+7a+10=0. We can factor this to get that (a+2)(a+5)=0. When the product of two numbers is equal to zero, one of the numbers must be equal to zero. This means that either a + 2 = 0, in which case a = -2, or a + 5 = 0, in which case a = -5.

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~{{ 0}} &,&{{ 27}}~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~{{ 5}} &,&{{ -8}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
\stackrel{\stackrel{average}{rate~of~change}}{slope}= {{ m}}\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{-8-27}{5-0}\implies \cfrac{-35}{5}\implies -7

well, when x = 0, namely at the very beginning, y = 27, thus, that IS the initial value.

What is the equation of the midline for the function f (x)?<br><br> f (t) = 3 cos (x) – 2.5
zaharov [31]

Answer:

  y = -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For such a problem as this, you can replace all sine or cosine functions with their midline value of 0. Then you have ...

  f(x) = 0 -2.5

which simplifies to ...

  f(x) = -2.5

You can leave the equation like this, or write it as ...

  y = -2.5

_____

Perhaps you can see that the midline is the value of any constant added to a sine or cosine function.
