The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1.- His mistake was that he drew the parabola upwards and it must be downwards.

Part 2.

             x                   Substitution                     f(x)

            -5                  -(-5+2)² - 1                         - 10

              1                  -(1 + 2)² - 1                         - 10

             2                  -(2 + 2)² - 1                          - 17  

The value of f(x) is always negative indicating that the parabola goes downwards.
