Answer:
D. Up
Step-by-step explanation:
When a parabola has the form 
, It is vertical (opens up or down).
Because the variable "x" is squared.
If "a" is positive, then the parabola opens up, but if it is negative, then the parabola opens down.
In this case you have the quadratic function:
Which can be rewritten as:
Therefore, it is vertical, because it has the form:
You can observe that the value of "a" is:
Then, since "a" is positive, the parabola opens up.

2x < 6
x < 3
problem 2: -3r < 10 - r
-2r < 10
r > -5
problem 3: 5c - 4 > 8c + 2
3c < -6
c < -2</span>

Answer:
a. A minimum of 300
Step-by-step explanation:
If her bill is $142 then it is a sum of the flat rate plus the money she pays for all the smses she sent. As an equation, it can be expressed this way
106 + 0.12x = 142 where x is the number of smses
0.12x = 36
x = 300 smses
So if we were told that she pays $142 per month, we'd know that she sends 300 smses. But we are told she pays AT LEAST $142 so there is a possibility that she sends even more than 300 smses
