Determine in which direction the parabola below opens. y = x2 - 7x + 18 a. left b. right c. up d. down

opens up → C

given a parabola in standard form → y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0) then

• If a > 0 parabola opens up and has a minimum turning point

• If a < 0 parabola opens down and has a maximum turning point

y = x² - 7x + 18 has a = 1 > 0 thus opens up

in mathematics, a constraint is a condition of an optimization problem that the solution must satisfy. there are several types of constraints—primarily equality constraints, inequality constraints, and integer constraints. the set of candidate solutions that satisfy all constraints is called the feasible set.

hoped i'm right lol
