Use the quadratic formula to determine the x-intercepts (if any) of the following function. Then evaluate the function for several values of x, and use the resulting points to graph the function. Show your work;
f(x) = -x^2 + 2x - 1
--------------------------
a = -1 ; b = 2 ; c = -1
--------------------------
x = [-2 +- sqrt(4 - 4*-1*-1)]/-2
------------
x = [-2 +- sqrt(0)]/-2
x = 1 with multiplicity two
----------------------------------
