(a) does the parabola open upward or downward?
upward downward
(b) find the coordinates of the vertex.
vertex: (4,0)
(c) find the equation of the axis of symmetry.
equation of axis of symmetry:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of axis of symmetry

For a parabola \(y = a(x - h)^2 + k\) with vertex \((h,k)\), the axis of symmetry is \(x = h\).

Step2: Identify \(h\) from vertex coordinates

Given vertex \((4,0)\), here \(h = 4\).

Answer:

\(x = 4\)
