No, it does not. You can tell if something is a function or not by using the vertical line test. If there is more than one point at any vertical line, it is not a function.

What is the parabola?

A parabola is a type of graph that is not linear, and mostly curved. A parabola has the "x squared" sign in it's equation. A parabola is not only curved, but all the symmetrical. The symmetrical point, the middle of the parabola is called the vertex. You can graph this graph with the vertex, x-intercepts and a y-intercept. A parabola that has a positive x squared would be a smile parabola, and the one with the negative x squared would be a frown parabola. Also, there are the parabolas that are not up or down, but sideways Those parabolas have x=y squared, instead of y = x squared.


Why is any parabola that opens upward or downward a function?

It is a function because for every point on the horizontal axis, the parabola identified one and only one point in the vertical direction.
