A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
There's the vertex (turning point), axis of symmetry, the roots, the maximum or minimum, and of course the parabola which is the curve.
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.
A parabola has a minimum value when it looks like the letter U
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
The point on the parabola where the maximum area occurs is at the vertex of the parabola. This is because the vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of a parabolic function.
Vertex
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)
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.
The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) 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.

the vertex, or very bottom point.I can also be called the maximum or minimum.
It is either a maximum or minimum value depending on its downwards shape or its upwards shape
It can be either depending on its minimum value or its maximum value
