Question

Which set of data is correct for the quadratic relation f(x) = 5(x -

Answer 1

Answer:

Direction parabola opens upward.

Vertex of parabola is (27,-9).

Axis of symmetry is $x=27$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Option sets are not correct.  

The vertex form of a parabola is

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$    ...(1)

where, (h,k) is vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.

If a<0, then parabola opens downward and if a>0, then parabola opens upward.

The given function is

$f(x)=5(x-27)^2-9$     ...(2)

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

$a=5>0$, so direction parabola opens upward.

$h=27,k=-9$, so vertex of parabola is (27,-9).

So, axis of symmetry is $x=27$.
