Answer:
--- Vertex
--- Axis of symmetry
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): The vertex
For an equation written in
The vertex is:
By comparison:
and
So, the vertex is:
Solving (b): The axis of symmetry
For an equation written in
The axis of symmetry is:
x = h
In (a):
So:
Answer: Third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this exercise it is important to remember the following:
1) By definition, equivalent expression have the same value, but they look different.
2) The multiplication of signs:
Then, given the following expression provided in the exercise:
You need to distribute the postive sign:
And finally, you must add the like terms:
As you can notice, the expression obtained matches with the expression shown in the third option.
