Question

Let g(x) = −(x − 1)2 + 5.

Let f(x) = x2. The following diagram shows part of the graph of f.

The graph of g intersects the graph of f at x = −1 and x = 2.

Write down the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of g.

Note: The shape must be a concave-down parabola.
Only if the shape is correct, award the following for points in circles:
A1 for vertex,
A1 for correct intersection points,
A1 for correct endpoints.
