Question
**Graphing a Quadratic Function**

**Objective:**
Graph the quadratic function. Label the Vertex, Line of Symmetry (LOS), and intercepts.

**Function:**
\[ f(x) = -(x + 2)^2 + 5 \]

**Steps:**

1. **Identify the Vertex:**
   - The function is in vertex form \[ f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k \].
   - Here, \( a = -1 \), \( h = -2 \), \( k = 5 \).
   - Vertex: \((-2, 5)\)

2. **Line of Symmetry (LOS):**
   - The line of symmetry is the vertical line that passes through the vertex. 
   - Equation: \( x = -2 \).

3. **Intercepts:**

   - **y-intercept:** Set \( x = 0 \).
     \[ f(0) = -(0 + 2)^2 + 5 \]
     \[ f(0) = -4 + 5 = 1 \]
     - y-intercept: \((0, 1)\)

   - **x-intercepts:** Set \( f(x) = 0 \).
     \[ 0 = -(x + 2)^2 + 5 \]
     \[ -(x + 2)^2 = -5 \]
     \[ (x + 2)^2 = 5 \]
     \[ x + 2 = ±\sqrt{5} \]
     \[ x = -2 ± \sqrt{5} \]

**Graph Description:**
- The graph is a downward-opening parabola due to the negative coefficient (\( a = -1 \)).
- The vertex \((-2, 5)\) is the highest point on the graph.
- The LOS is at \( x = -2 \).
- The parabola crosses the y-axis at \( (0, 1) \).
- The x-intercepts are located at \((-2 + \sqrt{5}, 0)\) and \((-2 - \sqrt{5}, 0)\).
