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

Find the value of 40% of 1KM (in m)​
labwork [276]

40% of 1 km in meters is 400 meters

<h3>What is percentage :</h3>

Percentage simply means per 100. Percentage can be express as decimal or fraction.

For example 25% of 80 can be found as follows:

  • 25 / 100 × 80 = 2000 / 100 = 20

From the example, 25% of 80 is 20 .

Therefore, 40% of 1 km(m) can be found as follows:

Let's convert km to metres.

1000m = 1km

40% of 1000

40 / 100 × 1000 = 40000 / 100 = 400metres

Therefore, 40% of 1 km in meters is 400 meters

Find the length of the leg of the right triangle leave your answer in simplest radical form
erastova [34]

Answer:

a =12*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +21^2 = 27^2

a^2 +441 =729

Subtract 441 from each side

a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441

a^2 =288

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)

sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)

a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)

a =12*sqrt(2)
