What is the point of which a parabola intersects the axis of symmetry called?
if it opens up then the point is called the minimum if it opens down its called the maximum
The equation y -3x2 describes a parabola. Which way does the parabola open?
The given terms can't be an equation without an equality sign but a negative parabola opens down wards whereas a positive parabola opens up wards.
What direction does the parabola open?
If the equation of the parabola isy = ax^2 + bx + c, then it opens above when a>0 and opens below when a<0. [If a = 0 then the equation describes a straight line, and not a parabola!].
What is regular hours?
regular hours is usually when a store opens and closes
How do you draw a 260 degree angle?
To draw a 260-degree angle, start by drawing a straight line. Then, use a protractor to measure and mark a point at 260 degrees on the line, starting from the initial point. Next, draw a line connecting the initial point to the marked point at 260 degrees to form the angle. Ensure the angle opens in the counterclockwise direction from the initial line to accurately represent a 260-degree angle.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called the?
maximum point :)
When a parabola opens upward the y coordinate of the vertex is a what?
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
The parabola opens downward the vertex is called?
The maximum.
If the parabola opens downward the vertex is called the?
The maximum point.
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.
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
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.
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 way does the parabola open if a is greater than 0?
If a is greater than zero then the parabola opens upward.
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.
What is the vertex form of a parabola that opens left?
It is (y - b)^2 = ax + c
