Choose the equation below whose axis of symmetry is x = 0. y = x2 + 2x y = x2 − 16x + 58 y = x2 + 2 y = x2 − 4x + 2

@ooops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find vertex, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for which 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find all the vertexes, the first one: ? the second one:? 3rd? 4th ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-b/2a 1.1 2.8 3.1 4.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one -b/2a = -1 for x, then y = -1 for y, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe the answer is x^2-4x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually maybe not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, the 3rd one, if x =0, then y = 2 the vertex of a parabola is on the y -axis, it means the y axis is symmetry. y axis implies x =0, got me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it's the third one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bout this one?A football is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = -16t2 + 64t where t equals the time in seconds and h(t) represents the height of the ball at time t seconds. What is the axis of symmetry and what does it represent? t = 2; it takes 2 seconds to reach the maximum height and 2 seconds to fall back to the ground t = 2; it takes 2 seconds to reach the maximum height and 4 seconds to fall back to the ground t = 4; it takes 4 seconds to reach the maximum height and 4 seconds to fall back to the ground t = 4; it takes 4 seconds to reach the maximum height and 8 seconds to fall back to the ground

OpenStudy (anonymous):

consider the first one, (-1,-1)|dw:1400303011255:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sleepy, let me sleep awhile. hehehe, let Hapreet helps you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have a nice nap xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again, find vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16=a 64=b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32/-64 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aka -.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-b/2a, how you get those numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops did it backwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-64/32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-64/-32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the vertex is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A?
