Divide the length of the wall by 2 to find the center of the wall:14/2 = 7 feet

The center of the painting is 2/2 = 1 foot.

The edge of the wall would be the center of the wall minus the center of the painting:

7 - 1 = 6 feet.

There should be 6 feet on each side of the painting.

Explain how you could write a quadratic function in factored form that would have a vertex with an x-coordinate of 3 and two dis
KATRIN_1 [288]
The vertex is on the axis of symmetry, so the axis of symmetry is x = 3. Find any two x-intercepts that have the equivalent distance from the axis of symmetry. Use those x-intercepts to write factors of the function by subtracting their values from x. For example, 2 and 4 are each 1 unit from x = 3, so f(x) = (x – 2)(x – 4) is a possible function.
