Given a function f(x)=x²-2x-8.
We know that the x-coordinate of the minimum point of a quadratic equation is (-b/2a).
Here, a = 1 and b = -2.
So,
[tex]x=\frac{-(2)}{2(1)}=1[/tex]At x = 1, the value of f(x) is -9.
[tex]f(1)=1^2-2-8=9[/tex]The axis of symmetry of quadratic equation x = -b/2a. So, the axis of symmetry is x = 1.
Thus, option 2 is correct.
