The quadratic function f(x) has a vertex at (5,-5) and opens downward. If g(x) = (x + 5)2 + 5, which statement is true?

A. The axis of symmetry of f(x) is x = 5, and the axis of symmetry of g(x) is x = -5.

B. The axis of symmetry of f(x) is x = -5, and the axis of symmetry of g(x) is x = -5.

C. The axis of symmetry of f(x) is x = 5, and the axis of symmetry of g(x) is x = 5.

D. The axis of symmetry of f(x) is x = -5, and the axis of symmetry of g(x) is x = 5.

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that f(x) has its vertex at 5, -5 and opens downward.  This tells us that it's axis of symmetry is x = 5.

The format of the function g(x) shows us that its axis of symmetry is x = -5.  We're shown this because of the (x + 5)² component.

So the correct answer is A.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
