y=axsquared + c?

Question

wat is/are the properties of the equation y=axsquared + c?

Answer 1

y = ax^2 + c is the equation of a parabola. The vertex is at the point (0,c). If a > 0, the parabola opens up and the vertex is a minimum; if a < 0, the parabola opens down and the vertex is a maximum. (If a = 0, the graph is a horizontal line
y = c.)

Answer 2

I would think that since the variable is squared that the graph would be a parabola, or a graph that is in somewhat of a "U" shape. The graph will come from infinity, curve down to a minimum point, and then go curve back up to infinity again.
