Question

Does the quadratic function y=-2x+3x^2+5 open upward or downward? Explain

Answer 1

Upwards

Explanation:

The reason is this quadratic function has a positive coefficient which is 3. The reason 3 is the coefficient is that 3 is the one with the X with a square in it. if 3 would have been negative, well the answer would be the opposite.

Answer 2

It would open upward.

Explanation:

If you see on the equation, there is a positive (+) sign on the
`3x^2`. If you see the positive sign on anything that is squared, and it is asking for a quadratic function, then it will always open upward. If you see a negative sign on anything that is squared, and is asking for a quadratic function, then it will open downward.
