I believe v is your coefficient and the degree is 7
If 20-2.3=17.7, then if you add 17.7 to 2.3. it equals 20 which is called the communicative property because whatever you add or subtract, the answer is the same
17.7+2.3=2.3+17.7
Answer:
Area = 96 square m
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
(a) -7, (b) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When x = 0,
=> x² - 8x - 7
=> (0)² - 8(0) - 7
=> 0 - 0 - 7
=> - 7
b) When x = -1,
=> x² - 8x - 7
=> (-1)² - 8(-1) - 7
=> 1 + 8 - 7
=> 9 - 7
=> 2

is a parabola (looks like the letter U).
The letter a represents the coefficient of

and it controls two things (1) how wide or narrow the parabola is and (2) whether it is concave up (like a U) or concave down (like an up-side-down).
The absolute value of a (the number without the sign) controls how wide or narrow it is. If the absolute value is a fraction less than 1 the graph gets wider. The smaller the absolute value of the fraction the wider the graph gets.
If the absolute value of a is greater than 1 the graph gets narrower (it gets skinnier). The bigger the absolute value the narrower the graph.
So, if all the graphs look like a U (concave up) then the one with the smallest a is the one that is the widest.
The a also controls whether the graph is concave up or concave down. If a is negative
If a is negative the graph is concave down so any graph that is concave down has a smaller value of a than any graph that is concave up. However, if the graph is concave down the one with the smallest a would be the most narrow one.
So to find the one with the smallest a...
If they are all concave up (like a U) pick the widest one
and
If they are not all concave up pick the narrowest one that is concave down (looks like an upside down U)
