Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The graph is a parabola that opens downwards.
2. The vertex of the parabola is at the point (1,0) (1, 0) .

STEP 2

1. Identify the general form of a downward-opening parabola.
2. Determine the vertex form of the parabola.
3. Match the vertex form with the given options.

STEP 3

A downward-opening parabola is generally represented by the function f(x)=a(xh)2+k f(x) = -a(x-h)^2 + k , where (h,k) (h, k) is the vertex.

STEP 4

Given that the vertex of the parabola is (1,0) (1, 0) , substitute h=1 h = 1 and k=0 k = 0 into the vertex form: f(x)=a(x1)2+0 f(x) = -a(x-1)^2 + 0 f(x)=a(x1)2 f(x) = -a(x-1)^2

STEP 5

Compare the derived function f(x)=a(x1)2 f(x) = -a(x-1)^2 with the given options. The option that matches this form is: f(x)=(x1)2 f(x) = -(x-1)^2
The function that matches the plot is:
f(x)=(x1)2 \boxed{f(x) = -(x-1)^2}
