Answer 3

how would you describe an axis of symmetry?

Answer 4

if we know what the roots of the equation are, the axis is the midpoint between them

Answer 5

\[\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}\]

Answer 6

since a root can be determined by the quadratic formula ....\[\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2(2a)}\]
\[\frac{-b-b}{2(2a)}\]
\[\frac{-2b}{2(2a)}\]
\[\frac{-b}{2a}\]

Answer 7

???

Answer 8

find the roots; find the midpoint (or average) of the roots .... this average is your axis of symmetry.
