how can you figure out two symmetrical points from these two equations. y=5(x+6)^2 and y= -3/5(x-3)^2 I need to have the work done so i can learn from this and figure out other equations. I am not understanding. thank you.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "1st Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4(x+6)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Axis of symmetry is x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Two points on the parabola that are symmetric to x= -6
\n" ); document.write( "would be:
\n" ); document.write( "Consider points 2 to the left of x=-6 and 2 to the right of -6.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = -8, then y = 4(-8+6)^2 = 4*4 = 16, giving you point (-8,16)
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = -4, then y = 4(-4+6)^2 = 4*4 = 16, giving you point (-4,16)
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
\n" ); document.write( "2nd Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/5)(x-3)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Axia of symmetry is x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Consides point 3 to the left and 3 to the right of x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = (-3/5)(-3)^2 = (-3/5)*9 = -27/5 giving you point(0,-27/5)
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 6, then y = (-3/5)(6-3)^2 = (-3/5)9 = -27/5 giving you point(6,-27/5)
\n" ); document.write( "=============================================================================
