Understanding Axis of Symmetry
In mathematics, the axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola into two symmetrical halves. For a quadratic function in the standard form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, the axis of symmetry is given by the equation:
x = -b / (2a)
This calculator helps you quickly find this axis by simply inputting the coefficients 'a' and 'b' from your quadratic equation. The visualization provides a graphical representation of the parabola and its axis of symmetry, enhancing understanding and making it easier to grasp the concept. Use this tool for homework, study, or quick calculations!
