Answer
The line of symmetry x = -4
Step by step explanation
Here we have to use the formula.
The symmetry of a parabola x = -b/2a
Now compare the given equation y = 3x^2 + 24x -1 with the general form y = ax^2 + bx + c and identify the value of "a" and "b"
Here a = 3 and b = 24. Now plug in these values in to the formula to find the line of symmetry.
x = -24/ 2(3)
x = -24/6
x = -4
Therefore, the line of symmetry x = -4.
Thank you.
My answer got deleted for some reason, so here we go again. To convert a number to a percent, you multiply the number by 100. So if you had the number 2.4, you would multiply it by 100 to get 240%. After multiplying it by 100, simply add a percent sign, and you're done!

Answer: x = {-1, -3, 2}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0
Use the rational root theorem to find the possible roots: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
Use Long division, Synthetic division, or plug them into the equation to see which root(s) work <em>(result in a remainder of zero)</em>.
I will use Synthetic division. Let's try x = 1
1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ 1 3 -2 </u>
1 3 -2 -8 ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root
Let's try x = -1
- 1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ -1 -1 6 </u>
1 1 -6 0 ← remainder = 0 so x = -1 is a root!
The coefficients of the reduced polynomial are: 1, 1, -6 --> x² + x - 6
Factor: x² + x - 6
(x + 3)(x - 2)
Set those factors equal to zero to solve for x:
x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3
x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2
Using Synthetic Division and Factoring the reduced polynomial, we found
x = -1, -3, and 2
