Brian needs to find the value of a number, a, so that when (x^2+3x) is added to the binomial (3x^2+ax), the sum simplifies to 4x

^2+12x. What is the value of a?

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add  (x^2+3x)  to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9

Anna [14]

We know that the law of sines states that:

\frac{\sin\alpha}{a}=\frac{\sin\beta}{b}

For simplicity, let:

\beta=m\angle A_1BC

In triangle A1BC this leads to:

\begin{gathered} \frac{\sin31}{5}=\frac{\sin\beta}{6} \\ \sin\beta=\frac{6}{5}\sin31 \\ \beta=\sin^{-1}(\frac{6}{5}\sin31) \\ \beta=38.174 \end{gathered}

Therefore:

m\angle A_1BC=38.174

Now, triangle A2BC is isosceles which means that both the base angles are equal, since angle CA1B and A2A1B are supplementary we have:

m\angle CA_2B=180-38.174=141.826
