Interpreting Graphs

The document contains two mathematics problems involving quadratic functions. The first problem involves sketching and analyzing the graph of the function f(x) = 3 + 2x - x^2. Key details extracted include that the maximum point occurs at (1,4) and the x-values where f(x) = 0 are -1 and 3. The second problem analyzes a quadratic function graph and requires determining values like the x-intercept, maximum point, and the interval where the function is greater than 5 based on the given graph. Both problems require skills in sketching, analyzing properties, and extracting information from graphs of quadratic functions.
