and the point (4,8) is on the graph.
Pls help fast

Answer 1

a=1/3

Explanation:

from the point on the graph

x=4 and y=8

substitute them into the equation:

y=a(x-2) (2x+4)

you will get

8=a(4-2) (2(4)+4)

8=a(2) (8+4)

8=a(2) (12)

8=2a×12

8=24a

divide both sides by 24

8/24=24a/24

1/3=a or a=1/3
