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
If a is positive which way does the parabola open x ay2?
Iām assuming you mean x = ay^2 the answer would be Right. Because it is positive. hope this helps! (:
Is 0.6 greater then 0.2?
yes, the same way 6 is greater than 2.
What is less then and greater then?
The mathematical symbol for 'less than' is On the keyboard, is found over the period, or full stop.One way to remember which way the symbols go is this:BIGGER > smallersmaller < BIGGERor2 > 1 (2 is greater than 1)1 < 2 (1 is less than 2)
