Math Problem Statement
solve this and provide the right answers
Solution
The problem asks to compare two functions based on line symmetry.
-
f(x) (on the left) represents a straight line. A straight line, unless it's vertical or horizontal, does not have line symmetry. Therefore, the correct answer for is "none."
-
g(x) (on the right) represents a parabola, which opens upwards. Parabolas are symmetrical around their vertex, and the line of symmetry is vertical, passing through the vertex. Here, the vertex appears to be at . Therefore, the line of symmetry for is .
Final answers:
- : none
- :
