Select the graph that correctly represents f(x) = –(x + 1)^2 – 3.




Answer:
Hey there!
The third graph, with a maximum at (-1, -3) is the correct choice.
Let me know if this helps :)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = –(x + 1)^2 – 3
We know that this is a parabola in the form
y = a( x-h)^2 +k
where ( h,k) is the vertex
y = -1( x- -1)^2 + -3
a is negative so the parabola opens downward
( -1,-3) is the vertex
