Answer:

a = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0

Then the x-coordinate of the vertex is

• x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

The line of symmetry passes through the parabola, hence x-coordinate is 4

y = ax² + 8x - 3 is in standard form

with a = a, b = 8 and c = - 3, hence

- \frac{8}{2a} = 4 ( multiply both sides by 2a

- 8 = 8a ( divide both sides by 8 )

a = - 1

Answer:

1. Degree= 6, trinomial

2. degree= 4, binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The largest exponent is 6 making it the degree and there are three terms because (m^5n^2), (mn^2), (n^6).

2. Since (9a^2bc^2) has the more than 1 exponent, you add them and the  degree is 4. There are two terms because (2a^3b), (9a^2bc^2).

Answer:

f(x) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

since an even function is defined as a function with the following rule. f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f(x). It would be odd if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain of f(x). If f(-x) ≠ -f(x), than it is neither. these are all known as the parity of a function.

you can apply these rules to all of given functions like this. (-x-1) ≠ -(x-1) so it is neither. 8(-x) = -(8x) so it would be odd. 2(-x)-(-x) = -(2x-x) so it is odd as well. This would make f(x) = 7 the only option, as there are no x variables in the equation so 7 = 7.
