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.
How do you calculate surface area of a parabola?
A parabola is a two dimensional open curve. Its area is therefore infinite.
Is it true graph is reflected about the x-axis and the parabola opens down?
No. A parabola can open up or down.
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.
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
A parabola that opens upward?
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.
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
The entire path of a projectile fired upward through the air can be represented as?
a parabola
