The zeros of a parabola are -5 and -3. The point (0, 60) is on the graph as represented by the equation.
60=a(0+5)(0+3)

What is the value of a?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value of 'a' is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 'a', we just have to simplify and make 'a' the subject of

[tex]60 = a(0 + 5)(0 + 3)[/tex]

This gives us:

[tex]60 = a(3)(5)[/tex]

This implies that:

[tex]60 = 15a[/tex]

We divide both sides by 15 to get:

[tex]a = \frac{60}{15} [/tex]

[tex]a = 4[/tex]
