The line of symmetry for the quadratic equation y = ax^2 + 8x - 3 is x = 4. What is the value of "a"?

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

If sine theta equals negative square root of three over two and pi less than theta less than three times pi over two, what are t
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Cosine theta equals the negative square root of three over two; tangent theta equals the negative square root of three over three is the correct answer.

<h3>What is angle measurement?</h3>

An angle measure is the measurement of the angle created by two rays or arms at a shared vertex in geometry. A protractor is used to measure angles in degrees (°).

Given data;

sin(1/2) = π/6

The value of the trignometric function are;

cos(π/6) = (√3)/2

tan(π/6) = 1/√3 = (√3)/3

In the second quadrant, where the cosine and tangent signs are both negative, is the angle of interest.

θ = 5π/6

cos(5π/6) = -(√3)/2

tan(5π/6) = -(√3)/3

Hence. cosine theta equals the negative square root of three over two; tangent theta equals the negative square root of three over three is the correct answer.

In the figure, a∥e , m∥n , and m∠2 = 112°.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer

Find out the  m∠6  .

To prove

As given

a∥e , m∥n , and m∠2 = 112°.

As  m∥n

a is the transversal (A line that cuts across two or more (usually parallel) lines is called transverasl.)

Thus

∠ 2 = ∠3 ( Corresponding angle property )

∠3 = 112°

Also

a∥e and m is transversal .

∠ 3 = ∠6 = 112 ° ( Corresponding angle property )

Therefore

∠6 = 112°
