• B) vertex: (- 2, 0); axis of symmetry: t = - 2; minimum value: 0; t-intercept: - 2; s-intercept: 1.
• C) vertex: (2, 0); axis of symmetry: t = 2; maximum value: 0; t-intercept: 2; s-intercept: -1.
• D) vertex: (0,1); axis of symmetry: t = 0; maximum value: 1; t-intercept: \(\pm 2\) ; s-intercept: 1.
• E) vertex: (0, 2);axis of symmetry: t = 0; maximum value: 2; t-intercept: \(\pm \sqrt { 8 }\) ;s-intercept: 2.
