Question

Please help which direction does -3x^2 + 18x -24 open?

Answer 1

Given that,

To find the direction does -3x^2 + 18x -24 open.

The equation is,

`y=-3x^2+18x-24`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the definition of parabola we get that,

`y=-(x-h)^2+k`

Here, (h,k) is the vertex.

negative sign indicating that the parabola is open down,

x^2 coefficient is in negative. Given parabola is open downward.

Answer is: down.
