Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic in standard form, ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0
Then the axis of symmetry is a vertical line with equation x = h
where h is the x- coordinate of the vertex.
The x- coordinate of the vertex is
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
f(x) = 5x² - 3x + 5 ← is in standard form
with a = 5 and b = - 3, thus
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{-3}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Thus the equation of the axis of symmetry is x = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
