The opening direction and shape of quadratic function image and parabola y = - 2x ^ 2 are the same, x = 1, and the minimum value is - 1

The opening direction and shape of quadratic function image and parabola y = - 2x ^ 2 are the same, x = 1, and the minimum value is - 1

Because the shape is the same, let y = ax ^ 2. Because the opening direction is the same, let a
