Answer: The graph will appear as a parabola opening downwards with a maximum point. It will cut the y-axis at -11.

Explanation:

The coefficient of x^2 is negative, thus the graph will look "sad" ie. max a maximum point and open downwards. And bc it's x^2, it's a parabola.

Sub. x=0 and you'll get -11. Or just inspect and get the ans from the eqn.

to get the roots. ( x-intercepts). Just sub y=0 and solve.
