Question
Sage began graphing f(x) = -2x2 + 4x + 9 by finding the axis of symmetry x = -1. Explain the error Sage made?
Hint:
For a quadratic function is in standard form, f(x)=ax2+bx+c.
Axis of symmetry x=−b/2a
The correct answer is: x = -1
We have given the equation f(x) = -2x2 + 4x + 9
We will first find the axis of symmetry ‘
x = -b/ 2a
x = -4 / 2 (-2)
x = -4/ -4
x = 1
This detects the error made by sage that he finds axis of symmetry as x = -1
