The axis of symmetry would be -3 because it is always the (x) of the vertex
Word form: Six over nine or two over three
Simpliest form: 2/3
It has a constant rate of change
Let's find the discriminant of <span>x^2+9x+14=0. Here, a=1, b=9 and c=14.
The discriminant is b^2-4ac. Substituting the above numeric values,
9^2-4(1)(14) = 81-56 = 25
The sqrt of 25 is 5. Thus, your polynomial has two unequal, real roots.
Off the point example: If the discriminant were zero, your poly would have two real, equal roots.</span>
