Question

h(x)=-2xsquared graph functions

**Graphing a Function of the Form f(x) = ax²**

**Graph the function:**

\(h(x) = -2x²\)

**Instructions:**

Plot five points on the graph of the function:

- One point with \(x = 0\)
- Two points with negative \(x\)-values
- Two points with positive \(x\)-values

Then click on the graph-a-function button.

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph area on the left displays a coordinate grid with x-axis and y-axis ranging from -12 to 12. 

**Tools Available:**

- Pencil tool for plotting points or sketching 
- Eraser tool 
- Line tool
- A grid tool for adjusting the coordinate grid 
- Undo and redo buttons

**Buttons:**

- "Explanation" button for additional help
- "Check" button to verify your plotted points

Make sure the shape of the graph matches the expected parabola opening downwards due to the negative coefficient of \(x²\).
