What else can I help you with?
The parabola opens downward the vertex is called?
The maximum.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called the?
maximum point :)
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficent of its x2-term a is negative?
Opens downward.
What is the graph of a function if the discrimanent is zero?
When the discriminant of a quadratic function is zero, the graph of the function is a parabola that touches the x-axis at a single point, known as a double root. This means that the function has exactly one real solution, and the vertex of the parabola is located on the x-axis. In this case, the parabola opens either upwards or downwards but does not cross the x-axis.
What does 2-x2 mean?
The expression (2 - x^2) represents a mathematical function where you subtract the square of a variable (x) from 2. This expression can also be interpreted as a quadratic function in the form of (f(x) = -x^2 + 2), which opens downward and has a maximum point at (x = 0) with a value of 2. The graph of this function is a parabola.
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.
The parabola opens downward the vertex is called?
The maximum.
How do you know if a parabola opens up or down?
I think it's like this: x2+3x-5 So if the x2 part is a positive then it opens upward but if it's negative it goes downward.
If the parabola opens downward the vertex is called the?
The maximum point.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called?
maximum point :)
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called the?
maximum point :)
How do you tell if a quadratic function is minimum value or a maximum vale?
Standard notation for a quadratic function: y= ax2 + bx + c which forms a parabola, a is positive , minimum value (parabola opens upwards on an x-y graph) a is negative, maximum value (parabola opens downward) See related link.
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 coefficent of its x2-term a is negative?
Opens downward.
How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
When a parabola opens upward the y coordinate of the vertex is a what?
Opening up, the vertex is a minimum.
How does finding the vertex of a parabola help you when graphing a quadratic equation?
Finding the vertex of the parabola is important because it tells you where the bottom (or the top, for a parabola that 'opens' downward), and thus where you can begin graphing.
