When you look at the table, find the y value that has equivalent values on both sides. For example, the y value for the vertex here is 10. After it, the values are 7,-2, and 17, and above it, the values are 7 and -2. This value should also be either the largest y value or smallest y value (depending on whether the parabola opens up or down).
{\text{Direction of parabola depends on the sign of quadratic coefficient of a }} \hfill \\
{\text{quadratic equation}}. \hfill \\
{\text{For given quadratic equation}}. \hfill \\
a{x^2} + bx + c = 0 \hfill \\
{\text{The parabola is in the upward direction if }}a{\text{ }} > {\text{ }}0{\text{ and in downward direction if }}a < 0 \hfill \\
{\text{Here, the equation of given parabola is }} \hfill \\
{x^2} - 6x + 8 = y \hfill \\
\Rightarrow y = \left( {{x^2} - 6x + 9} \right) - 9 + 8 \hfill \\
\Rightarrow y = {\left( {x - 3} \right)^2} - 1. \hfill \\
{\text{Thus, the parabola is in the upward direction}} \hfill \\
