Find the axis of symmetry for this parabola:
1 answer:
Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0 is found using
x = -
y = - x² - 2x - 5 ← is in standard form
with a = - 1 and b = - 2, thus equation of axis of symmetry is
x = - = - 1
Equation of axis of symmetry is x = - 1

Find numbers that multiply to 28 and add them to see if they add to 8
28=
1 and 28=29 not 8
2 and 14=16 not 8
4 and 7=11 not 8
that's it'
no 2 numbers
we must use quadratic formula
x+y=8
xy=28
x+y=8
subtract x fromb oths ides
y=8-x
subsitute
x(8-x)=28
distribute
8x-x^2=28
add x^2 to both sides
8x=28+x^2
subtract 8x
x^2-8x+28=0
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then x=
so if we have
1x^2-8+28=0 then
a=1
b=-8
c=28
