What is minimum point?
This is the coordinate of the vertex for a parabola that opens up, defined by a positive value of x^2.
A parabola that opens upward?
A parabola that opens upward is a U-shaped curve where the vertex is the lowest point on the graph. It can be represented by the general equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a is a positive number. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex, and the parabola is symmetric with respect to this line. The focus of the parabola lies on the axis of symmetry and is equidistant from the vertex and the directrix, which is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis.
How does finding the vertex of a parabola help you when graphing a quadratic equation?
Finding the vertex of the parabola is important because it tells you where the bottom (or the top, for a parabola that 'opens' downward), and thus where you can begin graphing.
What is y equals x2 plus 2x plus 1 on a graph?
Interpreting that function as y=x2+2x+1, the graph of this function would be a parabola that opens upward. It would be equivalent to y=(x+1)2. Its vertex would be at (-1,0) and this vertex would be the parabola's only zero.
How do you get a parabola with only one x intercept?
To have a parabola with only one x-intercept, the vertex of the parabola must lie on the x-axis. This means the parabola opens either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the squared term in the equation. If the coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if it is negative, the parabola opens downwards. By adjusting the coefficients in the equation of the parabola, you can position the vertex such that there is only one x-intercept.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called?

What is the equation of a parabola with a vertex at 0 0 and a focus at 0 6?
The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y
The parabola opens downward the vertex is called?
The maximum.
What is maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
Vertex
How does the value of a variable affect the direction the parabola opens?
If the value of the variable is negative then the parabola opens downwards and when the value of variable is positive the parabola opens upward.
If the parabola opens downward the vertex is called the?
The maximum point.

When a parabola opens downward the vertex is the what value?
The vertex is not affected by the direction that the parabola is facing. The vertex is the place where the two sides of the parabola meet. It is in the middle divides the shape in half. If you picture yourself looking at a bowl from the side and then imagining it as two dimensional, it would look like a parabola but for all of the filled in parts of the graph and the fact that the sides of the bowl don't continue on forever. The vertex is the bottom of the bowl, where the sides meet. You measure a vertex as you would a point; with a coordinate.
What way does the parabola open if a is greater than 0?
If a is greater than zero then the parabola opens upward.
