Set of negativity: All XX except for X=0X=0


y=ax2y=ax^2

Basic functions   Y=ax²

Properties of the function:
The quadratic function 
anynumber=aany number = a,b=0b=0,c=0c=0

Its vertex is (0,0)(0,0)
The axis of symmetry of this function is X=0X=0.

As aa  increases, the parabola will have a smaller opening - closer to its axis of symmetry.
As aa  decreases, the parabola will have a larger opening - further from its axis of symmetry.
