In that case it opens upwards.
The equation that describes a parabola opening up or down with its vertex at the point ((h, v)) is given by (y = a(x - h)^2 + v), where (a) is a non-zero constant. If (a > 0), the parabola opens upwards, while if (a < 0), it opens downwards. The vertex form allows easy identification of the vertex and the direction of the parabola's opening.
It is an up parabola.
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.

It is an up parabola.
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).
No. A parabola can open up or down.
Vertex
If a is positive, then the parabola opens upwards; if negative, then it opens downwards.
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
