Question

For the equation (x) = –3x2 + 2x – 1, explain if the graph will be pointing upward or downward. **20 POINTS**

Answer 1

Explanation:

the answer is "downward". If you say "why", it is because of the degree coefficient.

in the equation, the latest degree is 2 (which is quadratic equation) so from the degree its coefficient is -3. If it is negative, it should be downward like -3. But if it is positive it should be upward like 3, 1, 44.
