Question

the graph of y=-(x^2/3)=2x=24 is a parabola.

1) is the parabola u-shaped or n-shaped. how can you tell this from the equation?
I THINK I GOT IT ITS NEGATIVE AS THE COEFFIENT IS -X^2 WHICH IS NEGATIVE. IS THIS RIGHT?
You're close.
If the leading coefficient (the coefficient of the x² term) of a parabola is <b>n</b>egative, then the graph is <b>n</b>-shaped.
If the leading coefficient is positive, it is u-shaped.
