True
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The graph of the quadratic function $f(x) = ax^2+bx+c$ is a parabola that opens:
(i) upward when $a \gt 0$; or
(ii) downward when $a \lt 0$
The given quadratic function has $a=2$, which is positive.
Thus, the function's graph is a parabola that opens upward.
Therefore, the given statement is true.
