Transcript text: Use the graph of the parabola to fill in the table.
(a) Does the parabola open upward or downward?
upward downward
(b) Find the coordinates of the vertex.
vertex:
(17.).1)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine if the parabola opens upwards or downwards
The parabola opens upwards because it forms a "U" shape.
Step 2: Find the coordinates of the vertex
The vertex is the lowest point on the parabola. In the graph, this point is (3,0).
Step 3: Write out the final answer
The parabola opens upward and its vertex is located at (3,0).
