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.
What else can I help you with?
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its y term a is negative?
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.
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its x2 term a is a negative?
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.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called the?
maximum point :)
What is the area of the inside of a parabola?
Since a parabola is an open infinite curve, the area inside it is infinite.
Why is any parabola that opens upward or downward a function?
It is a function because for every point on the horizontal axis, the parabola identified one and only one point in the vertical direction.
if the parabola open upward a is?
positive.
What way does the parabola open if a is greater than 0?
If a is greater than zero then the parabola opens upward.
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its y term a is negative?
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.
What does changing the value of a from a negative number to a positive number cause the parabola to do?
open upward
When the parabola concave downward and upward?
If the number in front of the x squared is negative, then the parabola will open upwards. The opposite occurs when the number is positive.
What would you want to be a parabola open upward or open downward?
It can be either depending on its minimum value or its maximum value
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its x2 term a is a negative?
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.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called?

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 the graph of y 4x2 compare to the graph of y x2?
Their noses are both at the origin, and they both open upward, but y=4x2 is a much skinnier parabola.
The parabola for the function will point in which direction yx2 3x-4?
upward
