Question

What is the standard form of the equation of a parabola that opens left or right

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the parabola which opens left or right is $x=ay^2+by+c$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

If in the equation of the parabola,

1. If x is squared, then the parabola opens upwards or downwards.

2. If y is squared, then the parabola opens towards left or right.

Since, we want the equation of the parabola which opens left or right.

So, we get that,

The variable 'y' is being squared in the equation of the given parabola (from 1).

Thus, the equation of the parabola which opens left or right is $x=ay^2+by+c$.
