You did the correct thing and now you need to simplify the question. The answer would be -1. 0 squared is 0 and 4 times 0 is 0. That would leave you with -1.
Your answer would be a=-6.12
<h3>
Answer: 4</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
We'll only focus on points J and K.
J = (3, -6)
K = (-1, -6)
Because these two points have the same y coordinate (which is -6), this means we can ignore those values and subtract the x coordinates
3 minus (-1) = 3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
Or we could plot points J and K on the same xy grid system, and count out the number of spaces between J and K. You should count out 4 spaces.
This means segment JK is 4 units long.
There are two intersection points (-1, 1) and (-2, 3), and the x coordinates are -1 and -2.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent y = a^x
where a is a constant and a>1
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
We have two equations:
y = –2x – 1 and

From the graph, we can see:
There are two intersection points:
(-1, 1) and (-2, 3)
The x coordinates are -1 and -2
x = -1, y = 1
x = -2, y = 3
Thus, there are two intersection points (-1, 1) and (-2, 3), and the x coordinates are -1 and -2.
