It is a square root mapping. This is not a function since it is a one-to-many mapping.

If the parabola opens downward the vertex is called the?
The maximum point.
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 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)
What way does the parabola open if a is greater than 0?
If a is greater than zero then the parabola opens upward.
When will parabola open down?
In classic geometry, it opens down when the directrix is above the focus.In analytical (coordinate) geometry, if the equation of the parabola isy = ax^2 + bx + c, it opens down if a < 0.
Determine whether the parabola y equals -x2 plus 15x plus 8 opens up down left or right?
when you have y=+/-x2 +whatever, the parabola opens up y=-(x2 +whatever), the parabola opens down x=+/-y2 +whatever, the parabola opens right x=-(y2 +whatever), the parabola opens left so, your answer is up
The parabola opens downward the vertex is called?

If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called?
maximum point :)
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called the?
maximum point :)
What is the point of which a parabola intersects the axis of symmetry called?
if it opens up then the point is called the minimum if it opens down its called the maximum
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.
Which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of its y2term a is negative?
Nose points right, opens to the left.
A parabola that opens upward?
Is a parabola whose directrix is below its vertex.
What is the standard form of the equation of a parabola that opens left or right?
x= ay² + by + c Apex :3
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.
What direction does the parabola open?
If the equation of the parabola isy = ax^2 + bx + c, then it opens above when a>0 and opens below when a<0. [If a = 0 then the equation describes a straight line, and not a parabola!].
