Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a quadratic function is expressed as
f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
where
a is the leading coefficient. If a is negative, the parabola opens downwards.
To find the y intercept, we would substitute x = 0 into the function and solve for y or f(x). We have
f(0) = y = - (0)^2 - 10(0) + 1 = 1
y intercept = 1
The graph is a quadratic function, f(x) = - x^2 - 10x + 1 will result in a Parabola that
opens downwards because the leading coefficient is negative(- 1). The graph of this function will have a y intercept of 1
