The graph of the P(x) = x² + 22-1 is a
parabola
Opening
downwards
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c
A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form
ax2+bx+c,wherea≠0
is called a quadratic function.
All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is
y=x2

The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex. The vertex has the x-coordinate
x=−b2a
The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum or minimum value of the function.
a > 0 parabola opens up minimum value
picture52
a < 0 parabola opens down maximum value
picture53
A rule of thumb reminds us that when we have a positive symbol before x2 we get a happy expression on the graph and a negative symbol renders a sad expression.
The vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in two is called the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry has the equation
x=−b2a
The y-intercept of the equation is c.

When you want to graph a quadratic function you begin by making a table of values for some values of your function and then plot those values in a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through the points.
Answer:
Yes it's parabola
it is in the form of ax^2+bx+c Where a not equal to zero but b and c may or may not be zero.
