The graph opens upward and has a minimum value of –3

Which statement describes the graph of the function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

y - 2x² = -3

This can be expressed as

y = 2x² - 3

The above has a positive leading coefficient

This means that it opens up

And as such it has a minimum and no maximum

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

The graph opens upward and has a minimum value of –3
