Question

The equation for a parabola that opens upward and has a vertex in the second quadrant is given by y=a(x-b)^2+c.

Choose all of the conditions below that would apply to this equation.
a. a<0 b. a>0 c. b<0 d. b>0 e. c<0 f. c>0

Answer 1

If a is positive, then it opens upward.
If a is negative, then it opens downwards.

Answer 2

a decides whether parabola will open up or downwards
a>0 parabola open up
a<0 parabola open downwards
vertex is (b, c)
Can you tell the conditions for b and c?

Answer 3

( b, c) is in second quadrant

Answer 4

i think i know how to do it.. would my answer be b,c,f ?

Answer 5

If i'm not wrong

Answer 6
