In which direction does the parabola open? \[y =~–3x^2 + 5x + 10\] A. down B. up C. left D. right

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Do you have any idea? Have you graphed it? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I have graphed it. I believe the answer is B. or D. I am a little confused about it actually.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Hint: \(\sf ax^2+bx+c\) If \(\sf a>0\) then it opens upwards If \(\sf a<0\) then it opens downwards

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

What does your graph look like? o.O Make sure you graphed it correctly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, then the answer is A. And I meant to say A. or B. not D. XD
