y=ax2+bx+ca0     

this is a parabola.

If a>0 then it is concave up, If a<0 then it is concave down.

The y intercept is c

The axis of symmetry is x=b2aSubstitute in this value of x to get the y co-ordinate of the vertex

 

The roots, x intercepts are 

x=b2a±b24ac2a

That is usually enough.

Please, put your question in a more appriate and mathematically correct shape. Your question is too general.
