Answer:
The parabola must open up
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are doing process of elimination you would know that it is not going to be down or left because p is positive. Now the only options left are up and right. The parabola is not going to be opening to the right because that is on the x-axis. Therefore the parabola is opening to the right.
Using the parabola concept, the direction of the parabola is upward. Then option A is correct.
It is the locus of a point that moves so that it is always the same distance from a non-movable point and a given line. The non-movable point is called focus and the non-movable line is called the directrix.
Given
The vertex of the parabola is on the origin (0,0). Focus on the positive y-axis.
The direction of the parabola will be
We know the equation of parabola has a focus on the y-axis.
[tex]\rm y = 4ax^{2}[/tex]
where the value of a is positive then the direction of the graph is upward.
Thus, the direction of the parabola is upward. Then option A is correct.
