Identify the axis of symmetry for the graph of g(x) = 12(x + 6)2 - 5. x=? I thought it was 6 but I was wrong.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Can you find the vertex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, i think so. unless im doing it wrong?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[y=a(x-h)^2+k\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Make your equation match that one EXACTLY

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[y=12(x- -6)^2+-5\] \[y=a(x-h)^2+k\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is a? What is h? What is k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X=-6 axis of symmetry

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yep. do you understand or are you just copying Luis/

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well I see that you have several others who want to help you now. Good Bye.

I understand it Mertsj, I worked through the whole problem earlier and got 6. I can see I just made a small error on the signs. But thank you for helping me!
