Which way does the parabola open​

Mathematics

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>our parabola open </u><u>downward</u><u> and therefore a is negative</u>

<h2> Explanation:</h2>

As value of a changes from positive to negative or from negative to positive, the direction of opening changes.  For  negative values of a we got negative parabolas that open downward.  As the original formula y = x^2 we see that x^2 will always be positive because when you square a number it always gives positive value. Therefore  the direction for which it will open, depends on  value of a.
