The axis of symmetry is always the vertex of a quadratic, and the vertex is where the slope of the quadratic equals zero (m = 0). So let's find the m-value (slope) of each function: \[f(x) = x ^{2} + 6x − 1\] \[m = 2\left( x + 3 \right)\] \[x = -3 ~~~when ~~m = 0\] now for g(x): \[g(x) =~ –x ^{2} + 2\] \[m = -2x\] \[x = 0 ~~~when ~~m = 0\] now for h(x): \[h(x) = 2x ^{2} − 4x + 3\] \[m = 4\left( x - 1 \right)\] \[x = 1 ~~~when ~~m = 0\] So from least to greatest based on their axis of symmetry, the order goes as follows: \[f(x), ~g(x), ~h(x)\]
