Question

8.


For the graph of the function, identify the axis of symmetry, vertex and the formula for the function.


A. Axis of symmetry: x = –1; Vertex: (–1, 0); f(x) = –x2 – 2x – 1


B. Axis of symmetry: x = –1; Vertex: (–1, 0); f(x) = –2x2 – 2x – 1


C. Axis of symmetry: x = –1; Vertex: (–1, –1); f(x) = –x2 – 2x – 1


D. Axis of symmetry: x = –1; Vertex: (–1, 0); f(x) = –x2 – x + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A. Axis of symmetry: x = –1; Vertex: (–1, 0); f(x) = –x2 – 2x – 1 or C. Axis of symmetry: x = –1; Vertex: (–1, –1); f(x) = –x2 – 2x – 1
