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 negative, then the graph is n-shaped.
If the leading coefficient is positive, it is u-shaped.
If the leading coefficient (the coefficient of the x² term) of a parabola is negative, then the graph is n-shaped.
If the leading coefficient is positive, it is u-shaped.
