The equation of a parabola can be expressed in either standard or vertex form as shown in the picture below.
Standard Form Equation

The standard form of a parabola's equation is generally expressed:
y = ax 2 + bx + c
The role of 'a' If a> 0, the parabola opens upwards if a< 0, it opens downwards. The axis of symmetry The axis of symmetry is the line x = -b/2a Picture of Standard form equation Axis of Symmetry from Standard Form

The vertex form of a parabola's equation is generally expressed as : 2
Vertex Form of Equation
y= a(x-h) +k
(h,k) is the vertex
as you can see in the picture below
If a is positive then the parabola opens upwards like a regular "U". If a is negative, then the graph opens downwards like an upside down "U". If |a| > 1, the graph of the parabola widens. This just means that the "U" shape of parabola stretches out sideways . If |a| < 1, the graph of the graph becomes narrower(The effect is the opposite of |a| > 1).
