You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your equation or function is already in factored form. Remember the Zero Product Rule?

AXIS OF SYMMETRY:
Note that your equation is a parabola, vertical symmetry axis, with a vertex minimum, and with two real roots. The symmetry axis id in the exact middle of the two roots.
-
%28-3%2B6%29%2F2=3%2F2
-
Axis of Symmetry is x=3%2F2.
