Question

Can someone help plssss which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of the y= make upward parabolas

It is also going into the positive direction so it is $x = \frac{1}{4}y^2$

Answer 2

Answer:

1/4 y^2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a horizontal parabola is

(y - k)^2 = 4p(x - h)

The vertex is (0,0).

Substituting that in

(y - 0)^2 = 4p(x -0)

(y )^2 = 4p(x)

Since this opens to the right, p is positive

y^2 = 4px

Divide each side by 4

1/4 y^2 = px

Letting p =1

1/4 y^2 =x
