6. Example 2:
HEALTH Doctors use a straight-leg-raising test to determine the amount of pain felt in a person’s back. The patient lies flat on the examining table, and the doctor raises each leg until the patient experiences pain in the back area. Nitan can tolerate the doctor raising his right leg 35° and his left leg 65° from the table. Which leg can Nitan raise higher above the table?

7. Example 3:
Find the range of possible values for a.
