Question

Find the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function.

f(x) = 2x2 - 16x + 27

Answer 1

would that occur at the minimum point of the quadratic?

Answer 2

vertex maybe

Answer 3

just use the formula..if i'm right

Answer 4

Of course, for both.

Answer 5

The vertex of a quadratic equation is the minimum or maximum point of the equation.

Answer 6

reckon we should find the deriviative of f(x) and get stationary point

Answer 7

x = -b/2a

Answer 8

a = 2
b = -16

Answer 9

yeah^^

Answer 10

y=c-b^2/4a

Answer 11

the axis is syemetry, the vertical line that divides a parabola (the graph of a quadratic) is found by using the formula

x = -b/2a in this case x = 16/2 or x = 8

Answer 12

shouldnt it be x=4

Answer 13

is the axis of symmetry

Answer 14

yes, my bad, I forgot to mult denom by 2

x = 16/4 or x = 4

thanks, good catch!

Answer 15

np.
