Answer:

∠2=37°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠1=4x°

∠2=∠4 (Vertical Angle Theorem)

∠3=90°

∠4=(3x+1)°

∠4=∠2 (Vertical Angle Theorem)

∠1+∠2+∠3=180° (We use this equation in the next step)

∠1+∠3+∠4=180°

Thus, ∠2=(3x+1)°, making:

(4x)°+(3x+1)°+90°=180°

7x+91=180

7x=89

x=12

This means:

∠1=4x=4(12)=48°

∠2=3x+1=3(12)+1=37°

∠3=90°

∠4=3x+1=3(12)+1=37°

for all values of x , a function f is defined by f(x)=x^2+7x+12 if f(a)=2, what could be the value of a?

Evgesh-ka [11]

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.
