Question 189164: For the following questions consider the basic upward opening parabola y=x2 (x squared).
In this parabola, as the x-value increases toward positive infinity, does the y-value also increase towards infinity?

If you replace x with any integer (negative or positive), the value of y increases because the squaring process makes numbers bigger not smaller.
I would say yes to your question.
