The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given problems step by step. ### Part (a): Simplify \( \sqrt{9 - 6a + a^2} + \sqrt{9 + 6a + a^2} \) if \( a < -3 \). 1. **Recognize the expressions under the square roots**: \[ \sqrt{9 - 6a + a^2} = \sqrt{(a - 3)^2} \] \[ \sqrt{9 + 6a + a^2} = \sqrt{(a + 3)^2} \] 2. **Apply the property of square roots**: Since \( a < -3 \), both \( a - 3 \) and \( a + 3 \) are negative. Therefore: \[ \sqrt{(a - 3)^2} = -(a - 3) = -a + 3 \] \[ \sqrt{(a + 3)^2} = -(a + 3) = -a - 3 \] 3. **Combine the results**: \[ \sqrt{9 - 6a + a^2} + \sqrt{9 + 6a + a^2} = (-a + 3) + (-a - 3) \] \[ = -a + 3 - a - 3 = -2a \] **Final Result for Part (a)**: \[ \sqrt{9 - 6a + a^2} + \sqrt{9 + 6a + a^2} = -2a \]
