Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of y = (x + 3)^2 - 5

1 answer:

3 0

Equation of the parabola: y = ax^2 + bx + c. Find a, b, and c.
x of axis of symmetry:
x
=
−
b
2
a
=
3
-> b = -6a
Writing that the graph passing at point (1, 0) and point (4, -3):
(1) 0 = a + b + c -> c = - a - b = - a + 6a = 5a
(2) -3 = 16a + 4b + c --> -3 = 16a - 24a + 5a = -3a --> a = 1
b = -6a = -6; and c = 5a = 5
y
=
x
2
−
6
x
+
5

Check with x = 1: -> y = 1 - 6 + 5 = 0. OK

This is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey guys, I'm relearning some Algebra and was confused about this problem. In the equation, the problem was divided by 3. This m

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:

-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0

into

(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0

6x² + 5x - 1 = 0

And that gives the "swapped signs".
