Question

Given part of the equation of a parabola in root form, y=a(x-3)(x+4). What is the value of ‘a’ if the parabola passes through the point (-3,12)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: a = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = -2, because after graphing the equation in Desmos and plugging in various values for a, I found that when a = -2, the equation passed through the point (-3,12), so that's the answer. I'll attach a photo of the graph.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi, I know someone already answered, but I solved it algebraically (not graphing) and I got the same answer: a = -2. :)
