Answer:

The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola equation is a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in its vertex form is:

y = a(x-h) ^ 2 + k

Where the vertex of the parabola is the point (h, k)

a is the ceoficiente of the term to the square.

We need to find the equation of a parabola that has its vertex in the point:

(-5, -2)

So:

h = -5\\\\k = -2

Therefore the equation is:

y = a(x - (-5)) ^ 2 -2\\\\y = a(x + 5) ^ 2 -2

We know that the point (-4, 2) belongs to this parable. Then we can find the value of a by replacing the point in the equation of the parabola

(2) = a((-4) + 5) ^ 2 -2\\\\2 = a(1) ^ 2 -2\\\\2 = a -2\\\\a = 4

Finally the coefficient is a = 4

√(4) is equal to 4 raised to the (1/2). 1/2 as an exponent is between 0 and 1 and it means to take the square root.

So, 4^(1/2) = 2 (or -2)

I need to know what -(6h + 7) + 8 = -19 is
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(6h + 7) = -6h - 7

-6h - 7 + 8 = -6h + 1

-6h + 1 = -19

        -1     -1 <em>- Subtract 1 from both sides.</em>

-6h = -20

-6        -6<em> - Divide both sides by negative 6</em>

h = 10/3
