Question

4. What is the axis of symmetry for h(x) = 19(x – 5)^2 + 6

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

(h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

h(x) = 19(x - 5)² + 6 ← is in vertex form

with vertex (h, k ) = (5, 6 )

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex

with equation x = 5
