The maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
Parts of a parabola?
There's the vertex (turning point), axis of symmetry, the roots, the maximum or minimum, and of course the parabola which is the curve.
How do you tell if a quadratic function is minimum value or a maximum vale?
Standard notation for a quadratic function: y= ax2 + bx + c which forms a parabola, a is positive , minimum value (parabola opens upwards on an x-y graph) a is negative, maximum value (parabola opens downward) See related link.
When does a parabola have a minimum value?
A parabola has a minimum value when it looks like the letter U
When a parabola opens upward the y coordinate of the vertex is a what?
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
The maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
What is maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
Vertex
How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
What is the extreme point called on a parabola?
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.
What is the relationship of a vertex to a parabola?
The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) of a parabola.

What is The turning point of a parabola?
the vertex, or very bottom point.I can also be called the maximum or minimum.
What is the extreme point of the parabola?
It is either a maximum or minimum value depending on its downwards shape or its upwards shape
What would you want to be a parabola open upward or open downward?
It can be either depending on its minimum value or its maximum value
What does changing the value of a from a positive number to a negative number cause a parabola to do?
Assuming that a is the leading coefficient of the equation of the parabola, changing it from positive to negative will reflect the parabola along a horizontal line through its minimum - which will then become its maximum.
