What else can I help you with?
Is it true graph is reflected about the x-axis and the parabola opens down?
No. A parabola can open up or down.
What is maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
Vertex
How do you find a parabola opening up or down?
If you can mash the equation for the parabola into the form Y = Ax2 + Bx + C, then the parabola opens up if 'A' is positive, and down if 'A' is negative.
How can you tell if a porabola is opening up or down using ax2 plus bx plus c?
If a is positive, then the parabola opens upwards; if negative, then it opens downwards.
Given the standard equation for a parabola opening up or down which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the x2 term a is positiveUp or down?
In that case it opens upwards.
Determine whether the parabola y equals -x2 plus 15x plus 8 opens up down left or right?
when you have y=+/-x2 +whatever, the parabola opens up y=-(x2 +whatever), the parabola opens down x=+/-y2 +whatever, the parabola opens right x=-(y2 +whatever), the parabola opens left so, your answer is up
The maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
Is it true graph is reflected about the x-axis and the parabola opens down?

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.
Given the standard equation for a parabola opening up or down which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the x2 term a is positiveUp or down?
In that case it opens upwards.
When does a parabola open down?
No, a parabola is the whole curve, not just a part of it.
What is the standard equation of a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex is at the origin?
focus , directrix
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
What equation describes a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex at the point (hv)?
This is called the 'standard form' for the equation of a parabola:y =a (x-h)2+vDepending on whether the constant a is positive or negative, the parabola will open up or down.
