Question
Determine the equation of the parabola whose graph is given below.

Transcribed Image Text:The image presents a graph of a quadratic function. The graph is oriented on a Cartesian coordinate plane with labeled x and y-axes. The parabola is plotted in green and opens downward, indicating a negative leading coefficient.
Key features of the graph:
1. **Axes**:
- The x-axis ranges from -7 to 7.
- The y-axis ranges from -7 to 7.
2. **Vertex**:
- The parabola has its vertex at approximately (4, 4), which is the highest point on the graph.
3. **Intercepts**:
- The y-intercept is not clearly visible from the provided section of the graph.
- The parabola crosses the x-axis around the points (3, 0) and (5, 0), indicating these are the x-intercepts or roots of the function.
4. **Symmetry**:
- The graph is symmetrical about the vertical line x = 4.
The graph illustrates the properties of a quadratic function, including its vertex, direction (opening downwards), and x-intercepts. Understanding these key points can help in analyzing and graphing similar quadratic equations.
