Answer:
a = (x - b)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + b = x
-b -b
2a = x - b
/2 /2
a = (x - b)/2
for ex:
x = 3
b = 2
a = ((3) - (2))/2 = 0.5
a = 0.5
2a + b = x
2(0.5) + 2 = 3
The value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13
<h3>How to determine the cosine ratio?</h3>

Start by calculating the hypotenuse (h) using
h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
Evaluate the exponent
h^2 = 25 + 144
Evaluate the sum
h^2 = 169
Evaluate the exponent of both sides
h = 13
The cosine ratio is then calculated as:
cos(L) = KL/h
This gives
cos(L) =5/13
Hence, the value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13

is a quadratic function, so its graph is a parabola.
Notice that the coefficient of x is 0, this always means that the axis of symmetry is the y-axis.
That is, the vertex of the parabola is in the y-axis, so the x-coordinate of the vertex is 0.
for x=0, y=-1. So the vertex is (0, -1)
The coefficient of

is negative. This means that the parabola opens downwards, so the vertex is a maximum.
Answer: (0, -1) , maximum (none of the choices)
