Answer:Here's how to evaluate h(4) given the function h(a) = √(7a + 32):1. **Substitute:** Replace every 'a' in the function with the value '4'. * h(4) = √(7 * 4 + 32)2. **Simplify inside the radical:** * h(4) = √(28 + 32) * h(4) = √603. **Calculate the square root:** * h(4) ≈ 7.75 **Therefore, h(4) is approximately 7.75**
Answer:On what grounds did many people at the Passover Feast come to believe in Jesus?Many people believed in Jesus because they saw the miraculous signs He performed during the Passover Feast in Jerusalem (John 2:23).How did Jesus respond to their belief?Jesus did not fully entrust Himself to them because He knew the true nature of their hearts (John 2:24).What was the basis for Jesus' response?Jesus knew human nature and understood that their belief was based only on miracles, not true faith (John 2:25).With what word does the Nicodemus narrative begin?The Nicodemus story begins with the word "Now" (John 3:1, "Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus..."). In Greek, the word δέ (de) is used, which connects it to the previous passage, continuing the theme of superficial belief.On what basis does Nicodemus consider Jesus a teacher who has come from God?Nicodemus acknowledges that Jesus must be from God because of the miraculous signs He performed (John 3:2).How does Jesus expose the inadequacy of Nicodemus's faith?Jesus tells Nicodemus that seeing signs is not enough; one must be "born again" (or "born from above") to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3). This challenges Nicodemus’s understanding of faith, which was still focused on external signs rather than inner spiritual transformation.How can people come to a growing faith?People grow in faith by seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus, being born again through the Spirit, and believing in God's Word, not just relying on miracles or signs (John 3:5-8).What is the basis for the faith that leads to eternal life?The basis for true faith is believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who was given for the salvation of the world (John 3:16).To whom is eternal life made available?Eternal life is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ (John 3:16), regardless of race, status, or background.
