Answer:

Depends on the sign of the value represented by the heart

Explanation:

Depending on the sign of the value represented by the heart:

If the heart represents a positive number, and the fact that the negative sign in front converts it into a negative number, the expression corresponds to a parabola with branches pointing down , which will produce a maximum at the parabola's vertex.

If the heart represents a negative number, then the negative sign in front converts it into a positive number, and in that case the function describes a parabola with arms pointing up, so in this case the function will have a minimum at the parabola's vertex.
