Given the vertex of a quadratic function, find the axis of symmetry.

(i) The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = - 5.

(ii) The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are (h, k) = (4, - 18). The x-value of the vertex is 4.

(iii) According to the <em>vertex</em> form of the <em>quadratic</em> equation, the parabola opens down due to <em>negative</em> lead coefficient and has a vertex at (2, 4), which is a <em>maximum</em>.  

<h3>How to analyze and interpret quadratic functions</h3>

In this question we must find and infer characteristics from three cases of <em>quadratic</em> equations. (i) In this case we must find a formula of a axis of symmetry based on information about the vertex of the parabola. Such axis passes through the vertex. Hence, the equation of the axis of symmetry is x = - 5.

(ii) We need to transform the <em>quadratic</em> equation into its <em>vertex</em> form to determine the coordinates of the vertex by algebraic handling:

y = x² - 8 · x - 2

y + 18 = x² - 8 · x + 16

y + 18 = (x - 4)²

In a nutshell, the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are (h, k) = (4, - 18). The x-value of the vertex is 4.

(iii) Now here we must apply a procedure similar to what was in used in part (ii):

y = - 2 · (x² - 4 · x + 2)

y - 4 = - 2 · (x² - 4 · x + 2) - 4

y - 4 = - 2 · (x² - 4 · x + 4)

y - 4 = - 2 · (x - 2)²

According to the <em>vertex</em> form of the <em>quadratic</em> equation, the parabola opens down due to <em>negative</em> lead coefficient and has a vertex at (2, 4), which is a <em>maximum</em>.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Alborosie
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one.  If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2).  The slope is thus
         7.2-17.4           -6
m = ---------------  =  -----------  or   -3/5.
           23-6                 10

Find the equation of the line.  I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b  =>   7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b.  Solving for b,   b = 21.

Now    we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches  (answer)
