Answer

Vertex: (1,0) Opens downward x-intercept: -1 y-intercept: -1

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-x^2+2x-1$ $f(x)=-(x^2-2x+1)$ $f(x)=-(x-1)(x-1)$ $f(x)=-(x-1)^2$ Vertex: (1,0) Opens downward $x=0$ $f(x)=-x^2+2x-1$ $f(0)=-0^2+2*0-1$ $f(0)=-0+0-1$ $f(0)=-1$ $y=0$ $0=-(x-1)^2$ $\sqrt 0 =\sqrt {-(x-1)^2}$ $0 = ±(x+1)$ $0=-x-1$ $0+x=-x-1+x$ $x = -1$ $0=x+1$ $0-1=x+1-1$ $-1=x$ x-intercept: -1 y-intercept: -1
