Solution: Given quadratic function is f(x) = x 2 - 3x - 10
a. To find the axis of symmetry, we can proceed as follows
We have f(x) = x 2 - 3x - 10
It's of the form f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c , here a = 1, b = -3 and c = -10

to reduce it to the standard form.

= x 2 - 3x - 10 + 4 4
We can add and subtract square of b/2a i.e. square of 2
