Finding the axis of symmetry of an equation in general form

The video tutorial explains two methods to find the axis of symmetry in quadratic equations: completing the square and using the formula X = -B/2A. It provides a step-by-step calculation example and discusses how to find the vertex using the axis of symmetry. The tutorial concludes with a brief summary of the concepts covered.

Which of the following methods can be used to find the axis of symmetry of a quadratic equation?

• Using the formula X = -B/2A

• Graphing the equation

• Completing the square

• Using the quadratic formula

What is the general form of a quadratic equation?

• y = aX^2 + bX + c

• y = aX + b

• y = aX^2 + b

• y = aX^3 + bX^2 + cX + d

If B is 11 and A is 1 in a quadratic equation, what is the axis of symmetry?

• X = 11

• X = -5.5

• X = 5.5

• X = -11

How do you find the Y value of the vertex once you have the X value from the axis of symmetry?

• Use the quadratic formula

• Use the X value as the Y value

• Substitute the X value into the original equation

• Graph the equation

What is the relationship between the axis of symmetry and the vertex of a parabola?

• The axis of symmetry is the Y value of the vertex

• The axis of symmetry is unrelated to the vertex

• The axis of symmetry is the X value of the vertex

• The axis of symmetry is the midpoint of the parabola
