this is Q.10 on the m/j 09 paper..
How to solve part (ii)??
please help!!!
The function f is defined by f : x  → 2x^2 − 12x + 13 for 0 ≤ x ≤ A, where A is a constant.
(i) Express f(x) in the form a(x + b)2 + c, where a, b and c are constants. [3]
(ii) State the value of A for which the graph of y = f(x) has a line of symmetry. [1]
