Question

identify the axis of symmetry for the graph of h(x)=(x+5)^2

Answer 1

\[x=\frac{ -b }{ 2a }\]

Answer 2

That's what you need to find the axis of symmetry.

Answer 3

To expand this: (x+5)^2
Use this:
\[(x+a)^2=x^2+2ax+a^2\]

Answer 4

ohh but its says "Enter your answer as the following example x+-1"

Answer 5

Yes, then sue what I gave you to find x.

Answer 6

then use*

Answer 7

the equation you have given is a perfect square and touches the x axis at one point. The line of symmetry passes through the point of contact .
