The value of b is 4 and the function becomes y = 2x²-12x+8 because (2, -8) lie on the function.
What is a parabola?
It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.
We have:
[tex]\rm y = 2x^2+bx+8[/tex]
The above function shows the equation of the parabola.
From the graph, we can see the point(2, -8) lie on the graph of the function,
So point(2, -8) will satisfy the function.
Plug y = -8 and x = 2 in the function.
[tex]\rm -8 = 2(2)^2+b(2)+8\\\\-16 = 8+2b\\-24 = 2b \\b = -12[/tex]
Thus, the value of b is 4 and the function becomes y = 2x²-12x+8 because (2, -8) lie on the function.
