Question 152188: I need help with the following function:

Consider the following function:
f(x): +x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+2+
Find h, the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola.


Thanks so much

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the vertex is on the axis of symmetry

the general equation for the axis of symmetry is x=-b/(2a)

x=-(-6)/(2*1) __ x=3

so, h=3
