What is 2a times 3?
Since the question is 3(2a), then just write it out. 3(2a) is 2a+2a+2a or 6a.
Why is the equation of the line of symmetry x equals negative b over 2a?
The question refers to the equation of a parabola, that is, a quadratic equation of the form y = ax2 + bx + c. Suppose x1 = -b/2a - z and x2 = -b/2a + z for some real number z. Then y1 = a*(-b/2a - z)2 + b*(-b/2a - z) + c = b2/4a + bz + az2 - b2/2a - bz + c = b2/4a + az2 - b2/2a + c and y2 = (-b/2a + z)2 + b*(-b/2a + z) + c = b2/4a - bz + az2 - b2/2a + bz + c = b2/4a + az2 - b2/2a + c So y1 = y2 thus, if x is the same distance (z) either side of -b/2a, then the corresponding y values are the same. And that, is what a line of symmetry means.
What is the multaplicative inverse of -2a?
The multiplicative inverse of -2a is 1/(-2a) = -1/2a
A 2b a b 2a b 2a?
a-^2a-b^-a-b
How do you solve for the variable b in 2a plus 2b equals c?
2a + 2b = c subtract 2a from both sides 2a - 2a + 2b = c - 2a 2b = c - 2a divide both sides by 2 (2/2)b = (c - 2a)/2 b = (c - 2a)/2 --------------------
