The coefficient of the squared expression is 1/9
<h3>How to determine the coefficient of the squared expression?</h3>
A parabola is represented as:
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
Where:
Vertex = (h,k)
From the question, we have:
(h,k) = (-2,-3)
(x,y) = (-5,-2)
So, the equation becomes
-2 = a(-5 + 2)^2 - 3
Add 3 to both sides
1 = a(-5 + 2)^2
Evaluate the sum
1 = a(-3)^2
This gives
1 = 9a
Divide both sides by 9
a = 1/9
Hence, the coefficient of the squared expression is 1/9

Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer should be 12.2
7^2+10^2=c^2
49+100=c^2
149=c^2
12.2=c
Answer:
x=-4 x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 + 2x - 8
Set equal to zero
0 = x^2 + 2x - 8
Factor
What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2
4 * -2 = -8
4+-2 = 2
0=(x+4) ( x-2)
Using the zero product property
x+4 =0 x-2 =0
x=-4 x=2
