Identify the vertex and axis of symmetry of the function f (x) = - (x + 1) ^2 + 2 *

x = - 1; (-1, 2)

x = 1; (1, 2)

x = - 2; (2, - 1)

x = 2; (2, 1)

x = - 1; (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = - (x + 1) ^2 + 2

This is in vertex form

y = a (x-h) ^2 + k where the vertex is (h, k) and the axis of symmetry is x=h

f (x) = - (x - - 1) ^2 + 2

Axis of symmetry is x=-1

Vertex is (-1,2)
