Unfortunately, I am unable to view or produce images. However, I can describe the graph of the function rule y = x² + 1.
The graph of the function is a parabola that opens upwards. The vertex of the parabola is located at the point (0, 1) and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis. As x decreases or increases, y increases. The minimum value of y is 1, which occurs when x is 0.
Therefore, the graph of the function is a U-shaped curve that is shifted 1 unit upward from the standard parabola y = x².
