Let’s explore the end behavior of an upward-opening parabola:

End Behavior of an Upward-Opening Parabola:

1.As :

When you move left along the x-axis (towards negative infinity), the parabola rises from its vertex, which is the lowest point.

This means that the y-values increase indefinitely as you go further left.

Therefore, we can say that .

2.As :

Moving right along the x-axis (towards positive infinity), the parabola continues to rise beyond the vertex.

As a result, the y-values also increase indefinitely as you move further right.

Hence,
