Transcribed Image Text:**Determine the quadratic function whose graph is given.**
The graph shows a parabola with a vertex at the point (-1, -1) and it also passes through the point (0, 1). The parabola opens upwards, indicating a positive leading coefficient.
**Options for the quadratic function:**
- **A)** \( f(x) = -2x^2 + 4x + 1 \)
- **B)** \( f(x) = -2x^2 - 4x - 1 \)
- **C)** \( f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x + 1 \)
- **D)** \( f(x) = 2x^2 - 8x + 1 \)
**Explanation of the graph:**
- **Vertex:** The graph has a vertex at \((-1, -1)\).
- **Y-intercept:** The graph crosses the y-axis at \((0, 1)\).
To determine which function corresponds to the graph, consider the signs and values of the coefficients. Since the parabola opens upwards, the leading coefficient must be positive. Additionally, the vertex form or intercepts can be used to verify the correct function.
Based on this, the function that matches the graph is likely **C**: \( f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x + 1 \).
