Transcribed Image Text:### 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

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
