$\bf y=x^3\implies \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=3x^2 \right|_{x=2}\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{12} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 12 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-8=12(x-2) \\\\\\ y-8=12x-24\implies y=12x-16$

What is the axis of symmetry of the function f(x)= -(x+9)(x-21)

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The axis of symmetry is x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first find the two x-intercept values and then take the average. This will always be the line of symmetry.

x + 9 = 0

x = -9

x - 21 = 0

x = 21

Now take the average of these two numbers.

(-9 + 21)/2
