Hi, Previously posted.
Using the vertex form of a parabola, y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex
a. f (x) = x^2 |Parabola: Vertex Pt(0,0). y-axis the line of symmetry

b. f(x) = x^2+4x = (x+2)^2-4 |Parabola: Vertex Pt(-2,-4). x = -2 the line of symmetry

c. f(x) = x^2-4x +3 = (x-2)^2 -1 |Parabola: Vertex Pt(2,-1). x = 2 the line of symmetry
