Which of the following is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the quadratic equation y = 2(x + 7)2 - 4? How would I find the Axis of symmetry?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x = -7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, it's just the X intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put y=0 get two x intercept then find their mid pt and find the corrosponding value of y

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

no, this is not the x intercpt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or simply (x+7)^2=0 find x then find y there are two ways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to do it

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

axis of symetry is the turning point of the curve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is if it is a quadratic curve the quadratic curve is symetrical about the turning pt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. Thanks, guys!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u r welcome
