The functions ranked from least to greatest based on their axis of symmetry: h(x), f(x), g(x).
<em>The answer is
</em>The reason we get this answer is because when you are converting from exponential form, to radical form you always place the numerator as our constant's exponent in the radical <em>(

is called the radicand because it is located in the radical)</em> and the denominator in front of the radical, where it would be called the index.
<em>Here's what a formula would look like:</em> ![( \sqrt[n]{x} ) ^{q}=x^{ \frac{p}{q} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%7D%20%29%20%5E%7Bq%7D%3Dx%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bp%7D%7Bq%7D%20%7D%20)
