maximum point :)
if it opens up then the point is called the minimum if it opens down its called the maximum
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.
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!].
regular hours is usually when a store opens and closes
Well, darling, a door is typically rectangular in shape. But hey, if you're feeling fancy, you can always opt for a round door like they have in hobbit holes. Just make sure it opens and closes, that's the important part.
maximum point :)
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
The standard form of the equation of a parabola that opens up or down is given by ( y = a(x - h)^2 + k ), where ( (h, k) ) is the vertex of the parabola and ( a ) determines the direction and width of the parabola. If ( a > 0 ), the parabola opens upward, while if ( a < 0 ), it opens downward. The vertex form emphasizes the vertex's position and the effect of the coefficient ( a ) on the parabola's shape.
The maximum.
The maximum point.
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.
The extreme point of a parabola is called the vertex. In a parabola that opens upwards, the vertex represents the lowest point, while in a parabola that opens downwards, it represents the highest point. The vertex is a crucial feature for understanding the shape and direction of the parabola.
A parabola opens downward when the coefficient of its ( x^2 ) term (denoted as ( a )) is negative. This means that the vertex of the parabola is the highest point on the graph. Conversely, if ( a ) is positive, the parabola opens upward.
The equation that describes a parabola opening up or down with its vertex at the point ((h, v)) is given by the standard form (y = a(x - h)^2 + v), where (a) determines the direction and width of the parabola. If (a > 0), the parabola opens upward, while if (a < 0), it opens downward. The vertex ((h, v)) is the minimum or maximum point of the parabola, depending on the sign of (a).
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
A parabola opens upward when its leading coefficient (the coefficient of the (x^2) term in the quadratic equation (y = ax^2 + bx + c)) is positive. This means that as you move away from the vertex of the parabola in both the left and right directions, the values of (y) increase. Consequently, the vertex serves as the minimum point of the parabola.
When the coefficient of the y term ( a ) in the equation of a parabola is negative, the parabola opens downward. This means that its vertex is the highest point on the graph. Conversely, if ( a ) were positive, the parabola would open upward.
