What is the equation of the line of symmetry for the parabola represented by the equation y=−2(x−3)^2+4 ? Enter your answer as the correct equation, like this: x = 42

Respuesta :

[tex]\bf ~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=-2(x-\stackrel{h}{3})^2+\stackrel{k}{4}\qquad\qquad \stackrel{vertex}{(\underline{3},4)}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{axis of symmetry}}{x=\underline{3}}[/tex]

From the equation of the parabola in vertex-form, it's line of symmetry is given by:

[tex]l: x = 3[/tex]

The equation of a parabola of vertex (h,k) is given by:

[tex]y = a(x - h)^2 + k[/tex]

The line of symmetry is given by:

[tex]l: x = h[/tex]

In this problem, the parabola is modeled by the following equation:

[tex]y = -2(x - 3)^2 + 4[/tex]

Hence, the coefficients of the vertex are [tex]h = 3, k = 4[/tex], and the line of symmetry is:

[tex]l: x = 3[/tex]
