Question

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the graph of `f(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3`?

Answer 1

The equation given to us is in the Standard form
`y = ax^2 + bx + c` where `a = 2, b = 1 and c = -3`

The Axis of Symmetry is given by the formula `x = -1/(2*2)`

`x = -1/4`

`color (green)( x = -1/4` is the Axis of Symmetry of the Parabola with the equation `y=2x^2+x-3`
