\"y+=+x%5E2+%2B+1\" opens UPWARD, as the coefficient of \"x%5E2\" is > 0.
\n" ); document.write( "x-coordinate of vertex/Axis of symmetry: \"-+b%2F%282a%29\", or \"-+0%2F%282a%29\", or \"highlight_green%280%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "y-coordinate of vertex: \"y+=+%280%29%5E2+%2B+1\", or 1
\n" ); document.write( "Vertex: (\"0\"\"%22%2C%22\"\"1\") \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
