parabola with positive leading coefficient (the leading coefficient is1) so it opens up

anonymous · Answer

since it opens up it goes to infinity, has not max, but it has a min here is a nice picture http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=+y+%3D+2x2+%E2%88%92+3x+%E2%88%92+17 oh and i lied, the leading coefficient is 2, not 1
