for 1. maximum point is the origin, (0,0) which is the vertex
the graph is a downward opening parabola, with axis of symmetry x=0 and vertex (0,0)= maximum point
the origin is also the only x or y intercept.
plot a couple points and connect them with a smooth curve
let x= + or - 1, then y = -3(1)^2 = -3. Two more points on the graph are (1,-3) and (-1,-3)
plot them and (0,0) draw a smooth curve through them, symmetric about x=0
for 2, it's an upward opening parabola with minimum point of the origin (0,0) which is also the vertex
axis of symmetry is x=0
let x=1, then y=4(1)^2 =4 (1,4) and (-1,4) are two more points on the parabola
connect them and (0,0) with a smooth parabolic shaped curve
