Question
### Graphing Quadratic Functions

#### Problem Statement
Graph the function \( f(x) = -(x + 1)^2 + 2 \). Identify the vertex and the axis of symmetry. 

**Requirements:**
- Must show 5 points and axis of symmetry plotted.

#### Finding the Vertex and Axis of Symmetry
**Vertex:** ___________________

**Axis of symmetry:** _________________

#### Function Table
| \( x \) | \( f(x) = -(x + 1)^2 + 2 \) |
|--------|-----------------------------|
|        |                             |
|        |                             |
|        |                             |
|        |                             |
|        |                             |

Below the table, you should calculate and input the values for \( x \) and \( f(x) \), using at least five points to plot the function accurately.

#### Graph Explanation

A coordinate plane is provided where the function can be plotted.

- The x-axis ranges from -10 to 10.
- The y-axis ranges from -10 to 10. 

#### Steps to Plot the Function

1. **Identify the Vertex:**
   - The given function \( f(x) = -(x + 1)^2 + 2 \) is in vertex form, \( f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k \).
   - For our function, \( h = -1 \) and \( k = 2 \).
   - Thus, the vertex is \((-1, 2)\).

2. **Axis of Symmetry:**
   - The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex.
   - For this function, the axis of symmetry is \( x = -1 \).

3. **Calculate Additional Points:**
   - Choose values for \( x \) around the vertex (e.g., \( x = -3, -2, 0, 1 \)) to find corresponding \( y \)-values using the function \( f(x) = -(x + 1)^2 + 2 \).
   - Fill in the function table with these calculated points.

4. **Plot the Points:**
   - Plot the vertex and the additional points on the coordinate plane.
   - Draw the parabola using these points, ensuring it is symmetric about the axis of symmetry. 

#### Example Calculation for Additional Points:
- When \( x = -3 \):
  \[
  f(-3) = -((-3
