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
• 
= - 
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
- 
= 4 ( multiply both sides by 2a
- 8 = 8a ( divide both sides by 8 )
a = - 1

Answer: Number 1 is c=89 ft
Number 2 is b=3 cm
Step-by-step explanation: a²+b²=c²
For number 1, 39 ft is a and 80 ft is b so
39²+80²=c² so 39² is 39x39=1521 and 80² is 80x80=6400 so 6400+1521=7921
7921=c² and the square root of 7921 is 89 so c=89 ft
For number 2, a=1.6 cm and c=3.4 cm so 3.4²-1.6²=b²
3.4² so 3.4x3.4 which is 11.56
1.6² so 1.6x1.6 which is 2.56
11.56-2.56=c² and 11.56-2.56=9
Square root of 9 is 3 so b=3
So number 2 answer is b=3 cm
I hope this helps
