If the zeros of a quadratic function f are 1 and 5 what is the equation of the axis of symmetry of f

Option 2 is correct.

The axis of symmetry is, x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The zeros of the quadratic function f are 1 and 5.

If the zeroes are at x =1 and at x  =5, then,

the factor equations were  x- 1=0 and x-5 = 0.

Then. the factors were x -1 and x-5 .

Any factorable quadratic is going to have just the two factors, so these are must be them.

Then, the original quadratic was :

or

     [by distributive property ]

Combine like terms;

               ......[1]

A quadratic equation is of the form: ; where a, b, c are the coefficient ]

On comparing equation [1] with general equation we have;

the value of  a = 1 , b = -6 and c =5

Axis of symmetry states that a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

i,e

Then;

Axis of symmetry (x) =

Therefore, the equation of the axis of symmetry is;  x = 3
