Hi
y = -x^2+2x+3 | y-intercept Pt(0,3)
Using the vertex form of a parabola, y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex
y = -x^2+2x+3 |completing the square
y = -[(x-1)^2 -1]+3
y = -(x-1)^2 +4 Vertex (1,4) a = -1 <0 Parbola opens downward, vertex is max pt
Line of symmetry is x = 1 and when y = 0 (x-1)^2 = 4 x = 3
