if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Answer:
growth
Step-by-step explanation:
This is of the form
y = ab^x where a is the initial value and b is either growth or decay
if b > 1 then it is growth
b <1 it is decay
a = .2
b = 4
Since b>1 it is growth
First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign.
9s + 3 = 57
- 3 -3
9s = 54
Then divide both sides by 9.
9s = 54
/9 /9
s = 6
You can check it by plugging it back into the equation.
9s + 3 = 57
9 * 6 + 3= 57
54 + 3 = 37
57 = 57
Yep! It's correct! :)
Hope that helped. Algebra can be tricky sometimes I know but it's really just balancing equations.
