What is the axis of symmetry for f(x) = –3x2 + 12x – 6?

OpenStudy (precal):

x=-b/(2a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-b would be 12 right?

OpenStudy (precal):

yes b is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what would a be? -3 or 2?

OpenStudy (precal):

ax^2+bx+c=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or yea, that's what I meant

OpenStudy (precal):

no that is the quadratic equation in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm still lost on this..

OpenStudy (precal):

axis of symmetry is the line (vertical line) that splits this quadratic function in 2 equal parts
