The ROOTS (or solutions) of a polynomial are its x-intercepts
Recall: The x-intercepts occur where y = 0.

Find the Axis of symmetry for y = 3x2 – 18x + 7
Finding the Axis of SymmetryWhen a quadratic function is in standard form
the equation of the Axis of symmetry is
y = ax2 + bx + c,

3The Axis of symmetry is x = 3.
a = 3 b = -18
Finding the VertexThe Axis of symmetry always goes through the _______. Thus, the Axis of symmetry gives us the ____________ of the vertex.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is 2
Finding the Vertex
STEP 1: Find the Axis of symmetry
STEP 2: Substitute the x – value into the original equation to find the y –coordinate of the vertex.
