Considering the definition of axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

<h3>Axis of symmetry</h3>

An axis of symmetry is an imaginary reference line that, when dividing any shape into two parts, its opposite points are equidistant from each other, that is, they are symmetrical.

In other words, the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the "x" axis that contains the vertex of the function, that is, it always passes through the vertex of the parabola. So the x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry.

That is, in a quadratic function that has the form:

f(x)= ax² + bx + c

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line and it is defined as x=\frac{-b}{2a}.

<h3>Axis of symmetry of f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 9</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • a= 3
  • b=12
  • c=9

Replacing in the definition of axis of symmetry:

x=\frac{-12}{2x3}

Solving:

x=\frac{-12}{6}

<u><em>x= -2</em></u>

Finally, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

A pipe is leaking at 1.5 cups per day. about how many gallons per week is the pipe leaking
Alenkinab [10]
Remember that there are 16 cups in a gallon.

The pipe leaks 1.5 cups each day, so in one week, or 7 days, the cup leaks 1.5 times 7 cups, which equates to 10.5 cups per week.
To find this number in gallons, divide 10.5 by 16.
This equals .65625 gallons per week.
Hope this helps!

Traveling solve 64 less than y is no less than negative 128 give your answers in interval notation
exis [7]

64 less than y = y-64

no less = greater or equal than

negative 128 = -128

y-64 ≥ -128

Add 64 to both sides of the inequality:

y-64+64 ≥ -128+64

y ≥ -64

interval :

[-64,∞)
