1. Identify the maximum point and shape of the parabola
The graph is given in completed-square form:
Since the coefficient of is negative, the parabola opens downwards.
The maximum point is
2. Find the intercepts with the axes
For the -intercept, put :
So the graph crosses the -axis at .
For the -intercepts, put :
So the graph crosses the -axis at and .
3. Sketch and label the required graph clearly
Draw a smooth downward-opening parabola through and , with its highest point at .
Label the intercepts and maximum point clearly:
Sketch a downward-opening parabola with maximum point , crossing the axes at and .
