Write a polynomial equation in standard form for the graph

### Quadratic Function Graph

In this section, we will explore the graph of a quadratic function.

#### Graph Details:
- **Axes**: 
  - The horizontal axis represents the \( x \)-axis.
  - The vertical axis represents the \( y \)-axis.
- **Range and Domain**: 
  - The \( x \)-axis ranges from -3 to 3.
  - The \( y \)-axis ranges from -8 to 2.

#### Points of Interest:
- **Vertices and Intercepts**:
  - The graph shows a downward-opening parabola that starts from the top of the \( y \)-axis and curves downward at both sides.
  - It intersects the \( x \)-axis at \( x = -1 \) and \( x = 1 \).

#### Parabolic Shape:
- **Parabola**:
  - The apex of the parabola appears at around \( y = -8 \) and \( x = 0 \).
  - The two arms of the parabola extend upward symmetrically from the apex.

This graph represents a quadratic function in the form \( y = f(x) \), where \( f(x) \) is derived from the quadratic equation. Understanding the nature of parabolas helps in the analysis of various physical phenomena and algebraic structures.
