Given the standard equation for a parabola opening up or down which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the x2term a is negative Up or down?
down
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its x2term a is positive?
Upwards: it is cup shaped, not cap shaped.
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.
Does the parabola open up or down?
It does both depending if it is positive or negative
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its x2term a is negative?

What way does a parabola open if a is negative?
Downwards
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.
The equation below describes a parabola. If a is negative which way does the parabola open y ax2?
Down
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.
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its y2-term is negative?
LEFT
Does the parabola open up or down?
It does both depending if it is positive or negative
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 does changing the value of a from a negative number to a positive number cause the parabola to do?
open upward
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.
