If there are no repeating x values and an x value only goes to <em>one</em><em> </em>y value, then yes, it is a function.
Answer:
Up
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the easy rules to remember the orientation of the parabolas are
a) If x is squared it opens up or down. And its coefficient of {![x^{2}[tex] is negative it opens down.b) If y is squared it opens side ways right or left. It its coefficient of [tex]y^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B2%7D%5Btex%5D%20is%20negative%20it%20opens%20down.%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3Eb%29%20If%20y%20is%20squared%20it%20opens%20side%20ways%20right%20or%20left.%20It%20its%20coefficient%20of%20%5Btex%5Dy%5E%7B2%7D)
Hence in our equation of parabola

x is squared and its coefficient is positive , hence it opens up towards positive y axis.
12 ft * 10 ft = 120 sq ft
½ * 6 ft * 7 ft = 21 sq ft
120 sq ft - 21 sq ft = 99 sq ft (it is area of the composite shape)
