The values of a function are gotten from the input variables
The values of a could be 3 or -3
We have:
\(f(x) = x^2 - 1\)
Substitute 2a for x
\(f(2a) = (2a)^2 - 1\)
Expand
\(f(2a) = 4a^2 - 1\)
Substitute 35 for f(2a)
\(f(2a) = 4a^2 - 1 =35\)
So, we have:
\(4a^2 - 1 =35\)
Add 1 to both sides
\(4a^2 =35+1\)
\(4a^2 =36\)
Divide both sides by 4
\(a^2 = 9\)
Take square roots
\(a = \±3\)
Hence, the values of a could be 3 or -3
