Graph y= -x2 - 1. Identify the vertex of the graph. Tell whether it is a minimum or maximum. A. (–1, 0); minimum

B. (0, –1); maximum

C. (0, –1); minimum

D. (–1, 0); maximum

B. (0, –1); maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the parabola using the direction, vertex, focus, and axis of symmetry.

Direction: Opens Down

Vertex:  

( 0 , − 1 )

Focus:  

( 0 , − 5 /4 )

Axis of Symmetry:
