A missile is launched and the function f(x)= -2(x-18)2 - 648 represents its path where f(x) is the height of the missile. A plane is flying at a height of 650 feet.
Is the plane in danger? Why?
No, because the missile only reaches 648 feet so it will not make contact with the plane.
What is the axis of symmetry of y = 3(x-4)^2+2?
x=4
