Three functions are given below: f(x), g(x), and h(x). Explain how to find the axis of symmetry for each function, and rank the functions based on their axis of symmetry (from smallest to largest).

Answer:
g(x), h(x), f(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
to find axis of symmetry of f(x), you limply look at h, since it is the x value of the vertex and is the axis of symmetry since vertex form has an equation:
f(x)=a(x-h)^(2)+k, k is not -8, but 8, thus, the axis of symmetry is
x=8
to find axis of symmetry of g(x), you use the formula -b/2a
in this equation, b is 12, a is 3, thus: axis of symmetry is
x=12/(2*3)
x=12/6
x=2
to find the axis of symmetry of h(x), you simply look at what x value is the vertex on the graph, which is 3, so axis of symmetry is
x=3
ranking the functions from smallest to largest axis of symmetry, we go:
x=2, x=3, x=8 specifically;
g(x), h(x), f(x)
