Question

Two functions are given below f(x) and h(x) State the axis of symmetry for each function and explain how you found it

Answer 1

The axis of symmetry is the horizontal shift. If I am not wrong, you might be learning about absolute value functions or parabolas.

The absolute value function: f(x)= a|x-h|+k

The parabola (Vertex form of a quadriceps function): f(x)= a(x-h)^2+k

The variable ‘h’ is the horizontal shift, in other words, the axis of symmetry
