If the graph of quadratic polynomial ax 2 + bx + c cuts negative direction of y-axis, then what is the sign of c?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Negative

If quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c cuts Negative direction of y-axis, then it means that the value of y is negative when x = 0 [∵ at y-axis, x = 0]

Now,

y = c at x = 0 and y is Negative.

So, c is Negative.
