Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In the Quadratic Equation, y = Ax² + Bx + C, two things could happen with your A:

Opens down → Maximum Value [-A]

Opens up → Minimum Value [A]

We can identify the minimum or maximum value of a parabola by identifying the y-coordinate of the vertex. You can use a graph to identify the vertex or you can find the minimum or maximum value algebraically by using the formula x = ⁻ᵇ/₂ₐ. This formula will give you the x-coordinate of the vertex.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
