Answer:

$\fbox{ \huge{ \sf{ a = - 8}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigstar{ \sf{ \: 19 = - 3a - 5}}$

$\tt{Step \: 1 \: }$ : Swap the sides of the equation

$\longmapsto{ \sf{ - 3a - 5 = 19}}$

$\tt{Step \: 2 \: }$ : Move 5 to right hand side and change it's sign

$\longmapsto{ \sf{ - 3a = 19 + 5}}$

$\tt{Step \: 3 \: }$ : Add the numbers : 19 and 5

$\longmapsto{ \sf{ - 3a = 24}}$

$\tt{Step \: 4 \: }$ : Divide both sides by -3

$\longmapsto{ \sf{ \frac{ - 3a}{ - 3} = \frac{24}{ - 3}}}$

$\tt{Step \: 4}$ : Calculate

$\longmapsto{ \sf{a = - 8}}$

$\sf ∴ \: the \: value \: of \: a \: is \: - 8.$

URGENT! Can anyone explain how to solve this??

Alex

Check the picture below

the triangles are similar, the angles are congruents then

so... just add them up, and divide by 2, or set them as rational

Prove that root 7 is irrational by the method of contradiction

Alchen [17]

Let assume that $\sqrt7$ is a rational number. Therefore it can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .

$\sqrt7=\dfrac{a}{b}\\\\7=\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}\\\\a^2=7b^2$

This means that $a^2$ is divisible by 7, and therefore also $a$ is divisible by 7.

So, $a=7k$ where $k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$(7k)^2=7b^2\\\\49k^2=7b^2\\\\7k^2=b^2$

Analogically to $a^2=7b^2$ ------- $b^2$ is divisible by 7 and therefore so is $b$ .

But if both numbers $a$ and $b$ are divisible by 7, then $\text{gcd}(a,b)=7$ which contradicts our earlier assumption that $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .

Therefore $\sqrt7$ is an irrational number.

For x = 4, then it means 3 to the fourth power or 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3. 3^4 = 81 and 8 times that is 648.

y(x) = 8 * 3^x where x = 4:

y(x) = 8 * 3^4 = 8 * 81
y(x) = 648

The Function Rule then being that for every value of x there is one and only one value of y. y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.
