Please help which direction does -3x^2 + 18x -24 open?

Answer:
Given that,
To find the direction does -3x^2 + 18x -24 open.
The equation is,
[tex]y=-3x^2+18x-24[/tex]Explanation:
From the definition of parabola we get that,
[tex]y=-(x-h)^2+k[/tex]Here, (h,k) is the vertex.
negative sign indicating that the parabola is open down,
x^2 coefficient is in negative. Given parabola is open downward.
Answer is: down.
