right

Above
Does a parabola always have roots and a vertex?
An x2 parabola will always have one vertex, but depending on the discriminant of the function (b2-4ac) the parabola will either have 2 roots (it crosses the x-axis twice), 1 repeating root (the parabola meets the x-axis at a single point), or no real roots (the parabola doesn't meet the x-axis at all)
