Consider the problem of finding the line of symmetry and vertex of the quadratic equation f(x) =x^2-8x+15 What is the error in t

he solution below?
  x^2-8x+15=0
x=-8/2 =-8/2=-4 line of symmetry
8^2-8x+15=0
 (-4)^2-8(-4)+15=0
16+32+15=0
y=63
(-4,63) vertex 

A.
The solution is correct.
B.
The line of symmetry should have been 4 instead of –4.
C.
The vertex is incorrect; it should have been {–4, 53}.
D.
-4^2 should have been squared as –16 instead of 16.

\bf \textit{ vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}\\\\
\begin{array}{llccll} f(x) = &{{ 1}}x^2&{{ -8}}x&{{ +15}}\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad  {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)
\\\\\\
\textit{so the line of symmetry will be at }x=-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}

The graph of a sine function g(x) is presented below.
NISA [10]

Solution

To determine the vertical translation

We need to determine the amplitude

The amplitude is

\frac{10-4}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3

Since the minimum is 4

Hence, the Vertical shift is 3+4 = 7

Part B

Given f(x) = 4 sin(θ - 45) + 8

The vertical translation is 8
