Consider the problem of finding the line of symmetry and vertex of the quadratic equation f(x) =x^2-8x+15 What is the error in t

he solution below? x^2-8x+15=0 x=-8/2 =-8/2=-4 line of symmetry 8^2-8x+15=0 (-4)^2-8(-4)+15=0 16+32+15=0 y=63 (-4,63) vertex A. The solution is correct. B. The line of symmetry should have been 4 instead of –4. C. The vertex is incorrect; it should have been {–4, 53}. D. -4^2 should have been squared as –16 instead of 16.

We are given the quadratic:

f(x)=x^2-8x+15, with a=1, b=-8, c=15.


We know that the x-coordinate of the vertex, which is the point where the line of symmetry passes through is 

                                  \displaystyle{  -\frac{b}{2a}.

Thus, the x-coordinate of the vertex is -\frac{b}{2a} =-\frac{-8}{2\cdot1}= \frac{8}{2}=4.

Thus, the line of symmetry is x=4.


Answer: <span>B. The line of symmetry should have been 4 instead of –4. </span>

Step-by-step explanation:

here \: given \: that \: total \: lenth = bd = 67 \\ then \: bd = bc + cd \\ so \: we \: can \: write \: that \\ 67 = 3x - 2 + 4x + 13 \\67 =  3x + 4x - 2 + 13 \\ 67 = 7x + 11 \\ 7x = 67 - 11 \\ 7x = 56 \\ x =  \frac{56}{7}  \\ x = 8 \\ thankyou
