Answer:

x = -3/2

Explanation:

The zeros of the function are the values of x that make the factors zero:

x = -4, x = 1

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line halfway between these zeros.

x = (-4 +1)/2 = -3/2

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -3/2.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry do the quadratic function f(x) = -(x-example-1
