Question
Identify the graph of y=-4x2+8x+2. Then identify the vertex and axis of symmetry.

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains four graphs of quadratic functions, each on a grid with labeled axes.
**Graph Descriptions:**
1. **Top Left Graph:**
- This graph depicts a downward-opening parabola.
- The vertex of the parabola is located at the point (0, 6).
- The y-intercept is at (0, 6).
- The parabola symmetrically extends downwards, crossing the x-axis at approximately x = -2 and x = 2.
2. **Top Right Graph:**
- It shows a similar downward-opening parabola.
- The vertex is at the point (0, 8).
- The y-intercept is at (0, 8).
- The parabola crosses the x-axis around x = -√8 and x = √8.
3. **Bottom Left Graph:**
- Another downward-opening parabola is presented.
- The vertex is at the point (0, 4).
- The y-intercept is at (0, 4).
- It intersects the x-axis around x = -2 and x = 2.
4. **Bottom Right Graph:**
- This graph also features a downward-opening parabola.
- The vertex is at the point (0, 2).
- The y-intercept is (0, 2).
- It crosses the x-axis approximately at x = -√2 and x = √2.
**Common Features:**
- All graphs exhibit parabolas that open downwards, demonstrating a negative leading coefficient.
- The axis of symmetry for all parabolas is the y-axis, meaning they are symmetrical around the vertical line x = 0.
These graphs illustrate various quadratic functions with different vertex points but similar structures, showing the transformation of a basic parabola as the vertex shifts.
