Answer

Vertex: $(0,1)$ Opens upward x-intercept: none y-intercept: 1

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=x^2+1$ $a=1$, $b=0$, $c=1$ Vertex: $-b/2a=x$ $x=-b/2a$ $x=-0/2*1$ $x=0*1$ $x=0$ $f(x)=x^2+1$ $f(0)=0^2+1$ $f(0)=0+1$ $f(0)=1$ Vertex: $(0,1)$ Opens upward The y-intercept is found when $x=0$, and since the vertex has an x-coordinate of 0, we already have the y-intercept (1). There are no x-intercepts. The graph sits on the x-axis and opens up. y-intercept: 1
