Select and place the symbol that will make the statement true |-a| |a|

|-a|=|a|

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines beside the a's mean that you are trying to find the absolute value of what's inside. The absolute value of something is the distance it is from 0. You can't have a negative distance so anything inside of absolute value line are positive.

Therefor this is how we can solve this.

|-a| __ |a|

  a __ a

a=a

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this

i need more info. are you looked to see there mph? how much they deliver? how far they go?
