Answer: f(x) has an axis of symmetry at x = 4 and h(x) has an axis of symmetry at x = -2

Explanation:

You can easily find the axis of symmetry by investigating around which line the functions are symmetrical about

for instance, in h(x), the graph is symmetrical on either side of x = -2, meaning that the line x = -2 cuts the parabola in 'half'

in f(x), this is a little harder to think about, but if you know how the graph will be shifted on the x-axis you can figure it out! In this case (x-4)^2 means that the graph will be shifted on the x-axis 4 units to the right (or from the origin to +4 on the X axis)

as such the line x = 4 will cut the function f(x) in 'half'
