Question

Use the graph of the function f(x) = -(× + 1)2 + 2. Identify the vertex and the axis of symmetry.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given function:

• f(x) = - (x + 1)² + 2

As per graph, the vertex is the point (- 1, 2).

The axis of symmetry is the line parallel to the y-axis, passing through the vertex:

• x = - 1
