Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of each function. 6. y = x^2 - 6x + 4

@faith2012

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation for the axis of symmetry would look like x=-b/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that's the formula to get the axis of symmetry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the answer tho? ;/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to factor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factor the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-_)(x-_)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you already have the answer for the vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the coordinates and axis of symmetry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The axis of symmetry is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all i need to write down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I write '' Vertex : (3. -5) & Axis of symmetry: x = 3'' ? @faith2012

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vertex: (3, 5), Axis of symmetry: x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thank you sm! (: what about 7. y = 4x^2 + 8x + 7? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Axis of symmetry is -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is the vertex on the last one (3,5) or (3, -5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean on the first one^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, it's (3, 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok whats the vertex of the last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1, 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
