Answer:
a=1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
from the point on the graph
x=4 and y=8
substitute them into the equation:
y=a(x-2) (2x+4)
you will get
8=a(4-2) (2(4)+4)
8=a(2) (8+4)
8=a(2) (12)
8=2a×12
8=24a
divide both sides by 24
8/24=24a/24
1/3=a or a=1/3
No the product will be less than 9/10.
This can be easily seen if the fractions are converted into decimals.
The decimal form of the product of 7/8 and 9/10 is 0.867 while the decimal form of 9/10 is 0.9. Therefore, the product of 7/8 and 9/10 is not greater than 9/10
Since x=8/3 is a vertical line,the slope is undefined,
