If a is positive which way does the parabola open?
Upwards like a letter U
The equation below describes a parabola. If a is positive which way does the parabola open y ax2?
right apex. hope that helps
What way does the parabola open if a is greater than 0?
If a is greater than zero then the parabola opens upward.
How do you figure out if a parabola is stretched or shrunk?
Assuming the parabola is of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c or y= a(x-h)^2 - k, you look to the 'a' coefficient to determine whether the parabola has undergone a vertical "stretch" or "shrink." If a>1, then it's a stretch. If 0<a<1, then it's a shrink. If, by the way, the a is negative, this test still works... just ignore the negative sign. So if for example a = -2/3, it's a shrink, but if a = -3 it's a stretch. (Incidentally, the negative sign makes the parabola "reflect" over the x-axis.)
A graph made up of connected lines or curves is called?
it depends which way it curls. if it goes to the right its a hyperbola line grpah and if it goes to the left its a parabola line graph.
Which way does a parabola open when the coeffienct y2-term a is positive?

Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its x2 term a is positive?
It is like the letter U.
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 x2term a is positive?
Upwards: it is cup shaped, not cap shaped.

What The equation y ax2 describes a parabola. If the value of a is positive which way does the parabola open?
If the value of ( a ) in the equation ( y = ax^2 ) is positive, the parabola opens upwards. This means that the vertex of the parabola is the lowest point, and as you move away from the vertex in either direction along the x-axis, the value of ( y ) increases. Conversely, if ( a ) were negative, the parabola would open downwards.
If a is positive which way does a parabola open?
If ( a ) is positive in the quadratic equation ( y = ax^2 + bx + c ), the parabola opens upward. This means that the vertex of the parabola is the lowest point on the graph, and as you move away from the vertex in either direction along the x-axis, the values of ( y ) increase. Conversely, if ( a ) were negative, the parabola would open downward.
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.
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.
The equation below describes a parabola. If a is positive which way does the parabola open?
If the coefficient ( a ) in the equation of a parabola (typically given in the form ( y = ax^2 + bx + c )) is positive, the parabola opens upwards. This means that the vertex of the parabola is the lowest point, and as you move away from the vertex in either direction along the x-axis, the y-values increase.
