Answer
The axis of symmetry is $x=1$.
domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$
range: $(-\infty,4]$
Work Step by Step
To graph $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$,
1. Determine whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
If $a>0$, it opens upward. If $a<0$, it opens downward.
2. Determine the vertex of the parabola. The vertex is $(h, k)$.
3. Find any x-intercepts by solving $f(x)=0$.
The function's real zeros are the x-intercepts.
4. Find the y-intercept by computing $f(0)$.
5. Plot the intercepts, the vertex, and additional points as necessary
Connect these points with a smooth curve that is shaped like a bowl or an inverted bowl.
------------------
$f(x)=4-(x-1)^{2}$
$f(x)=-(x-1)^{2}+4$
1. opens down (a=$-1$).
2. vertex: (1, 4)$. $The axis of symmetry is $x=$1.
3. x-intercepts:
$0=-(x-1)^{2}+4$
$(x-1)^{2}=4$
$x-1=\pm 2$
$x=-1$ or $x=3$
5. y-intercept:
$f(x)=-(0-1)^{2}+4=3$
The axis of symmetry is $x=1$.
