what is the vertex and the equation for the axis of symmetry

The vertex is (0, -5) and the axis of symmetry is x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the axis of symmetry, we look for the x value of the vertex. We can find this using the equation -b/2a, in which a is equal to the coefficient of the x^2 term and b is the coefficient of the x term.

x = -b/2a

x = 0/2(1)

x = 0/2

x = 0

So the axis of symmetry is 0 as is the x value of the vertex. Now we can find the y value by plugging in the x value into the equation.

f(x) = x^2 - 5

f(x) = 0^2 - 5

f(x) = 0 -5

f(x) = -5

This gives us a vertex of (0,-5)

i am unable to solve this problem

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
