Answer:Perimeter is the limit of any given geometric figure. Circumference is just the name given to a circle’s perimeter, in other words, the circle’s limit, its edge.

The reason for this is because the perimeter is, by definition, the sum of the lenghth of every side of any given geometric figure. A circle has either no sides, or number of sides, so its perimeter has to be treated differently.

Remember that π (Pi) equals 3.141592 approximately. This is a constant, meaning that no matter what circle you are studying, Pi will always have the same value. It is the relation between the diameter and the lenght of its circumference. A circle with diameter xwill travel 3.141592x before it completes a revolution. This is where Pi comes from.

So the difference would be that a “normal” perimeter is only the sum of the sides. A circumference is the perimeter of a circle, given a diameter and the constant value of Pi, that derives from other properties of the circle, and not by its sides (remember a circle has either none or nnumber of sides).

Perimeter is for a geometric shape (square, triangle, diamond, rectangle,etc.), whereas circumference is the “perimeter” of a circle

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are talking about parabola functions.

All parabolas (even if they aren't functions) have their axis of symmetry going through their vertex.

For parabola functions, your axis of symmetry is x=a number.

The "a number" part will be the x-coordinate of the vertex.

The axis of symmetry is x=1.
