question 118

Multiple Choice

Graph the function. Identify the vertex, x-intercepts, and the equation for the axis of symmetry.
- $f ( x ) = ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } - 9$

• A) vertex: \(( - 1 , - 9 )\) \(\mathrm { x }\)-intercepts: \(( - 2,0 )\) and \(( 4,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(\mathrm { x } = - 1\)
• B) vertex: \(( - 1 , - 9 )\) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( - 4,0 )\) and \(( 2,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(\mathrm { x } = - 1\)
• C) vertex: \(( 1 , - 9 )\) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( 2,0 )\) and \(( 4,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(\mathrm { x } = 1\)
• D) vertex: \(( 1 , - 9 )\) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( - 2,0 )\) and \(( 4,0 )\) axis of symmetry: \(\mathrm { x } = 1\)
