• B) vertex: \(( 1,4 )\) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( - 1,0 )\) and \(( 3,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(x = 1\)
• C) vertex: \(( 1,4 )\) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( - 3,0 )\) and \(( 1,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(x = 1\)
• D) vertex: \(( 1 , - 4 )\) \(\mathrm { x }\)-intercepts: \(( - 1,0 )\) and \(( 3,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(x = 1\)
