Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

  • Vertex form of a quadratic equation:
    f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
    where
    (h, k) is the vertex
  • The x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

The vertex of
f(x)=(x-1)^2+2 is (1, 2)

Therefore, the x-coordinate is 1, so x = 1 is the equation of the axis of symmetry.
