"Smiling" Parabola
#(y=ax^2+bx+c)#

Explanation:

#y=(3x-2)(4x+1)-(4x-1)(2x-2)#
#=> y=12x^2-5x-2-(8x^2-10x+2)#
#=> y=12x^2-5x-2-8x^2+10x-2#
#=> y=4x^2-13x-4#

this is a form of:
#y=ax^2+bx+c#
when:
#a=4 , b=-13 , c=-4#

and therefore this function is a Parabola

(this is how it looks, "smiling"):
graph{4x^2-13x-4 [-3, 5, -20, 20]}
