Find the axis of symmetry for y = 4x^2 + 16x - 2
do you know to do complete square method ?
test -1 (-b/2a) = -16/2*4=-1
The axis of symmetry would be found by -b/ 2a... have a try now please,,,,
The axis of symmetry is just the vertical line passing through the vertex. In other words, since the vertex has coordinates \(\left(-b/2a, f(-b/2a)\right)\), you have the axis of symmetry as the line \(x = -b/2a\). Don't forget to include "\(x = \)"
Do I use the formula ax^2 + bx + c =0
Is the answer -8?
Is it really?
nope -18
you could just use the equation givenby @ParthKohli
I did.
or go for complete square method, which i assume is not necassary if you can do it a simple way
show me your working
16x/2
x=-8
x = -b/2a b = 16 a = 4
UGH This ish is so frustrating.
why dont u substitute for a and b and find x :/ not so hard as think
