Answer:

a < 0

The vertex is (1,2)

Explanation:

Looking at the graph

we have a vertical parabola open downward

The leading coefficient is negative

The vertex is a maximum

The vertex is the point (1,2)

The axis of symmetry is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex, so the axis of symmetry is x=1

The y-intercept is the point (0,1)

The function has two real solutions (zeros of the function) one positive and one negative

The positive zero of the function is greater than 2

The negative zero of the function is greater than -1

Verify each statement

case 1) a < 0

The statement is true

Because the parabola open downward

case 2) The vertex is (1,2)

The statement is true

The vertex in this problem is the maximum of the function

case 3) The axis of symmetry is y =2

The statement is false

Because the axis of symmetry is x=1

case 4) x = 2 is a zero of the function

The statement is false

Because the positive zero of the function is greater than 2

case 5) (1,2) is a minimum

The statement is false

Because the vertex in this problem is a maximum
