The axis of symmetry is at x = -3.
This can be found by looking at the basic form of vertex form:
y = (x - h)^2 + k
In this basic form the vertex is (h, k). By looking at what is plugged into the equation, it is clear that h = -3 and k = -4. This means the vertex is at (-3, -4).
It is a fact that the axis of symmetry is a vertical line of x = (vertex value of x). So we can determine that the axis of symmetry is at x = -3
<em><u>The solution is (4, 4)</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

Make the right side of equation 0

<em><u>Solve by quadratic equation</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute x = 4 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(4) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
Thus solution is (4, 4)
For this case we have the following amount of liquid:
2.5 oz.
The amount of liquid needed is:
3 oz.
Therefore, the amount of fluid needed is:
3oz - 2.5oz = 0.5oz
Answer:
b. no, hildy did not get a reasonable amount of liquid because she only needed 0.5 oz (3 - 2.5 = 0.5).
