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>

Answer:
f(3) = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The table entry ...
x ... f(x)
3 ... 9
means f(3) = 9.
Answer:
135????
Step-by-step explanation:
999 - 100 + 1 = 900
There are 900 numbers between 100 and 999 (inclusive)
We group the numbers into groups of 3s. So we find one number divisible by 3 in every group.
Number of numbers that can be divided by 3 = 900 ÷ 3 = 300
Number of numbers that can be divided by 3 = 300
We group the numbers into groups of 4s. So we find one number divisible by 4 in every group.
Number of numbers that can divided by 4 = 900 ÷ 4 = 225
Number of numbers that can divided by 4 = 225
Among the group of 4s, there is 1/3 that are already inclusive in divisible by 3.
225 ÷ 3 = 75
Number of numbers that can divided by 4 = 225 - 75 = 150
Total numbers of positive integers divisible by three and fours = 300 + 150 = 450
