Solving the second one

  • Vertex=(-3,0)

Axis of symmetry

  • It passes right at vertex of parabola
  • The axis is x=-3

Roots are the x intercepts

  • Roots=-3

Answer:

  • axis of symmetry: x = -3
  • root: x = -3

Explanation:

As indicated in the example shown, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex. That is, its equation is ...

x = <x-coordinate of vertex>

Here, the x-coordinate of the vertex is -3, so the axis of symmetry is ...

x = -3

__

The roots are the x-intercepts, the x-values where the graph touches or crosses the x-axis. When the graph only touches the x-axis, there is only one root. Here, the x-value of the point where the graph touches the x-axis is x = -3.

The root is x = -3.
