Topic

Quadratics

Description

Concave Down: Describes the shape of a parabola that opens downward, with the vertex being the highest point on the graph. It is a key characteristic for identifying the direction of a quadratic function based on the sign of the leading coefficient (a < 0). Helps in identifying the vertex's location and parabola's orientation.
