we have

This is a vertical parabola open upward
The axis of symmetry is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex
The vertex is the point (h,k)
the equation of the axis of symmetry is 
In this problem

so the x-coordinate of the vertex is 
<u>Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form</u>
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

Factor the leading coefficient

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

Rewrite as perfect squares


remember that

so



substitute in the equation


therefore
<u>the answer is</u>

Answer:6-8^10=?
Step-by-step explanation:
Shannon's scooter has a piece of tape stuck to the tire. If
the tire has a diameter of 18 inches, the distance traveled by the piece of
tape in 72 degree rotaion can be solve using:
S= ra, where s is the distance traveled, r is the radius and
a is the angle in radians
s = (18in/2)(72 degree)(pi/180 degrees) = 11.31 in.
