Ali graphs the function f(x) = –(x + 2)2 – 1 as shown.
On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 3, 0), has a vertex at (negative 2, negative 1), and goes through (negative 1, 0). A vertical dashed line at (negative 2, 0) is parallel to the y-axis.
Which best describes the error in the graph?
The axis of symmetry should be x = –1.
The axis of symmetry should be x = 2.
The vertex should be a maximum.
The vertex should be (–2, 1).
