The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( a \) such that \( p(a) = 0 \) given the function \( p(x) = 4x - 6 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write down the function and the condition**: We are given the function: \[ p(x) = 4x - 6 \] and the condition: \[ p(a) = 0 \] 2. **Substitute \( a \) into the function**: We need to find \( p(a) \): \[ p(a) = 4a - 6 \] 3. **Set the equation to zero**: Since we know that \( p(a) = 0 \), we can set up the equation: \[ 4a - 6 = 0 \] 4. **Solve for \( a \)**: To isolate \( a \), we first add 6 to both sides: \[ 4a = 6 \] Next, divide both sides by 4: \[ a = \frac{6}{4} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ a = \frac{3}{2} \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( a \) is: \[ a = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( a \) is \( \frac{3}{2} \). ---
