Answer:

opens UP and has a minimum value.

Explanation:

The given quadratic function opens UP (the branches of the associated parabola open up) because the coefficient that accompanies the leading term (leading coefficient) is positive.

Since the graph is a parabola with arms pointing up, the graph should have a minimum located at the vertex of the parabola.
