Verified Answer :

for
ax^2+bx+c
the axis of symmetry is -b/2a


first one
-3/2=3, nope

2nd one
3/2=3? nope

3rd one
-6/2=3? nope

fourth
6/2=3? yes
answer is last one or
f(x)=x^2-6x-1

Answer:

Option 4th is correct

\(f(x) = x^2-6x-1\)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is in the form of: \(y=ax^2+bx+c\).....[1]; then the axis of symmetry is given by:

\(x = \frac{-b}{2a}\)

As per the statement:

To find :

The graph of which function has an axis of symmetry at x = 3

From the given options:

Option 4th is the graph of a function which has axis of symmetry at x = 3

Consider a function:

\(f(x) =x^2-6x-1\)

On comparing with [1] we have;

a = 1  and b = -6

then;

\(x = \frac{-(-6)}{2 \cdot 1}\)

⇒\(x = \frac{6}{2} =3\)

Therefore, The graph of which function has an axis of symmetry at x = 3 is, \(f(x) = x^2-6x-1\)
