Question

f(x)=x^2- x- 2 What is the axis symmetry? The Ordered pair for vertex is ?

Answer 1

the axis o' symmetry is:

(-) middle#
-------------
2(first#)

Answer 2

-(-1)
----- = 1/2
2(1)

Answer 3

? that makes no sense the axis is a single number and vertex is set of two ordered numbers? Im confused

Answer 4

the axis is; x=1/2

Answer 5

the vertex coords are what ever the function equals when x=1/2

Answer 6

so u mean .5?

Answer 7

or .05

Answer 8

1
-- = .5
2

Answer 9

ok ok then I just input that into the x variable to calculate the vertex order?

Answer 10

yes; your vertex sits at (.5,f(.5)) so whatever the equation equals at x=.5 is gonna be your y value for your vertex coords

Answer 11

the axis of symmetry is x = .5 right?

Answer 12

yes ok i get it now

Answer 13

i knew you would ;)

Answer 14

:) Thank You
