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.
What causes first gear to bog down?
bog down in first gear and then it strtes to shift
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
