Consider the quadratic function y = 1.6 (x-5)2 - 6.5. Determine the axis of symmetry, x = _____

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Do you know about, a(x-h)^2 + k ?? @irena95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

This is the vertex form of the equation. Whenever you have anything as such, you can simply find the vertex, a(x-h)^2 + k the sign of term with "x" inside the bracket is changed to it's opposite sign and k remains the same. The vertex is, (h,k)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Like let's say if you have something like, a(x-2)^2 +3 So vertex = (2,3) now try your problem. :)

thankyou soo mucch

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 5,6.5?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

It's (x,y) the x is correct, you forgot the negative sign with y. rest all is perfect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thankss :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

So it will be, (5,-6.5)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

And welcome.
