A parabola shifts vertically (up or down) when the constant term in its equation changes; for example, in the equation (y = ax^2 + bx + c), increasing (c) shifts the graph up, while decreasing it shifts it down. Horizontal shifts occur when the (x) variable is modified; for instance, in (y = a(x-h)^2 + k), changing (h) moves the graph left or right. Specifically, (h) determines the horizontal position, with (h > 0) shifting the parabola to the right and (h < 0) shifting it to the left.

In which direction does the parabola?
A parabola can open left, down, right, or left on a graph, if that's what you mean:\
Determine whether the parabola y equals -x2 plus 15x plus 8 opens up down left or right?
when you have y=+/-x2 +whatever, the parabola opens up y=-(x2 +whatever), the parabola opens down x=+/-y2 +whatever, the parabola opens right x=-(y2 +whatever), the parabola opens left so, your answer is up
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down, subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the of the vertex?
right

What makes a parabola a parabola?
A parabola is a quadratic figure. It is an intersection of a right conical surface, a plane parallel to a generating straight line of the surface. Basically, it's an arc shape. It can open up, down, left, or right.
Where is the line of symmety located on a parabola?
The line of symmetry located on a parabola is right down the center. A parabola is a U shape. Depending on the direction of the parabola it either has a x axis of symmetry or y axis of symmetry. You should have two equal sides of the parabola.
The maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
What makes a parabola go to the left or right instead of up or down?
This is kind of obvious, a parabola going up and down wouldn't serve a purpose, since it's taking signals from a satellite in space. It goes left and right to get a better signal.
Is it true graph is reflected about the x-axis and the parabola opens down?
No. A parabola can open up or down.
How do you find a parabola opening up or down?
If you can mash the equation for the parabola into the form Y = Ax2 + Bx + C, then the parabola opens up if 'A' is positive, and down if 'A' is negative.
Given the standard equation for a parabola opening up or down which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the x2term a is negative Up or down?
down

bog down in first gear and then it strtes to shift
