6. \(f ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 1\).
  1. Find the values of the constants \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) such that $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = a ( x + b ) ^ { 2 } + c$$
  2. State the equation of the line of symmetry of the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  3. Solve the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 3\), giving your answers in exact form.
