OpenStudy (anonymous):

Three functions are given below: f(x), g(x), and h(x). Explain how to find the axis of symmetry for each function, and rank the functions based on their axis of symmetry (from smallest to largest).

@dumbcow THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE1

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

haha ok axis of symmetry is vertical line going through vertex if it is in this form: \[y = (x-h)^2 + k\] then axis of symmetry is x = h if its in standard form \[y = ax^2 +bx +c\] then its x = -b/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok Can We Go Through F(x) So I Can Learn Lol @satellite73 @dumbcow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = −2(x − 4)^2 + 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Woah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the axis of symmetry of \[y=-2(x-4)^2+2\] is \(x=4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = −2(x − 4)2 + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can You Walk Me Through It!

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

lol we did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its That Easy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure lets go slow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is that easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=2(x-4)^2+2\] is already in vertex form the vertex is \((4,2)\) and so the axis of symmetry is \(x=4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So How Would I Find Out Its Rank?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the axis of symmetry of \(h\) (the third one) is \(x=-2\) which is an eyeball problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can We Go Through It But Make Its Soo I Can Attach It To My File?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the axis of symmetry of the second one is \(x=-\frac{b}{2a}=1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soo Like This... To Find The Axis Of Symmetry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea what "rank" means in this context, unless it means list them from left to right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soo Like This... To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For F(X) Problem You... Can We Answer It Like That? And For Rank It Says From Smallest To Largest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For The F(x) Problem You... To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For The G(x) Problem You To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For The H(x) Problem You...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from smallest to largest i assume they mean \(h,g, f\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For The F(x) Problem You... see that it is conveniently written in vertex form, allowing you to read of the vertex as \((4,2)\) making the axis of symmetry \(x=4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For The G(x) Problem You find the first coordinate of the vertex using \(x=-\frac{b}{2a}\) which in this case is \(-\frac{-10}{2\times 5}=1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So The Axis For G(X) Is 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To Find The Axis Of Symmetry For The H(x) Problem You... look with your eyeballs and see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x=1\) not \(1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok Lol Look With Your Eyeballs And See It.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So H(x) Would Be -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 Is H(x) Symmetry x=-2
