You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If by f(x) = (x − 5)2 + 2
you mean:

f%28x%29+=+%28x+-+5%29%5E2+%2B+2

then we can use the fact that this equation is in standard form. This means that

x-5=0

gives us what we need to determine the axis of symmetry.
Therefore the axis of symmetry is:

x=5
