Question

Please help me identify the equation of the axis of symmetry?

Answer 1

The equation is: \[y = 0.05(x - 30)^2 + 6\]
I was asked to find the coordinates of the vertex, and I did: they are (30, 6).
However, next, I was asked to identify the "equation of the axis of symmetry".

I feel very stuck with this and have been trying to figure this one out but can't seem to. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it very much!!

Answer 2

Oh, is the answer simply: x = 30?

Answer 3

the vertex of this parabola is (30,6). Thus you are correct - the answer is simply x=30

Answer 4

Thank you very much for verifying my answer and taking the time to reply!!

Answer 5

No problem :)
