anonymous · Answer

any equation in the form of$$ax ^{2}+bx+c$$
is a quadratic and its graph will be a parabola
Whether it opens up or down depends upon the coeefficient "a"--if "a" is positve it opens up;  if negative it opens down.

The vertex or top or bottom, if you will, represents the  minimum or maximum. If it opens up, the vertex represents a minimum. If it opens down, the vertex represents a maximum.|dw:1337280185493:dw|
The graph in the left part of the drawing opens up and has a minimum and the right graph opens down and has a maximum.Can
