Question

What is the a value of the following function?

A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 3
D. 2

Answer 1

@Mertsj I got 1/2

Answer 2

I don't understand the question. What does it mean, the value of the function?

Answer 3

I have no clue lol

Answer 4

Their is something wrong. Are you sure you posted the question exactly right? There are many function values shown on that graph.

Answer 5

yep I posted the question right, i guess it wants us to try and "find" the value

Answer 6

The "a" value is "2" because the function is symmetric with x=0. Look at x=1, you have 2 for y Look at x=2, you have 8 for y.

Answer 7

alright then what?:)

Answer 8

ax^2 + bx + c = y

What you really have is y = ax^2

It's the graph of y = 2x^2.

Answer 9

Ok. tcarroll is right. I completely missed the "a" part in the question. tcarroll010 will help you now. Good luck.

Answer 10

so im thinking the answer is 3?

Answer 11

Since the graph is symmetric with x=0, both "b" and "c" are "0", so the graph is of the form

y = ax^2

and we already now know that "a" is "2".

So, that's all you have to do.

The answer is D) 2.

Answer 12

And for verification:

y = 2 = 2(1^2)

y = 8 = 2(2^2)

Answer 13

y=2*x^2

Answer 14

All good now, @katlin95 ?

Answer 15

hold on let me find my answer stay here for a sec,

Answer 16

1/2 is my answer?

Answer 17

That was one way to get the answer, the graph inspection and here's another, more analytical:

y = 8 = a(2^2) = (a)(4)

a = 8/4 = 2

Answer 18

I keep telling you that the answer is "2".

Answer 19

Good luck to you in all of your studies and thx for the recognition

Answer 20

ohhh lol sowwy

Answer 21

thanks bud:)
