Equation of Parabola

How do you know if a parabola has a minimum vertex?

• When "a" is positive there is a minimum

• When "a" is negative there is a minimum

• When all the numbers in the equation are negative there is a minimum

The focus is at (2,0) and the vertex is at (-4,0).  What is the equation of the parabola?

• y² = 24(x+4)

• (y+4)² = -12x

• x² = 16(y+4)

• (x+4)²  = -20y

When x is squared, the parabola opens up or down.

• True

• False
