Given the standard equation for a parabola opening left or right which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the y2-term a is positive?
right
How can you determine the orientation of a parabola when written in standard form?
If the coefficient of x2 is positive then the parabola is cup shaped (happy face). If the coefficient of x2 is negative then the parabola is cap shaped (gloomy face).
Given the standard equation for a parabola opening up or down which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the x2term a is negative Up or down?
down
Given the standard equation for a parabola opening up or down which way does a parabola open when the coefficient of the x2 term a is positiveUp or down?
In that case it opens upwards.
What is the standard equation of the parabola y3(x-4)2-22?
the standard form of the equation of a parabola is x=y2+10y+22
What is the standard equation of a parabola?
There are two standard form of parabola: y2 = 4ax & x2 = 4ay, where a is a real number.
What equation describes a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex at the point (hv)?
This is called the 'standard form' for the equation of a parabola:y =a (x-h)2+vDepending on whether the constant a is positive or negative, the parabola will open up or down.
What is the equation of a parabola with a vertex at 0 0 and a focus at 0 6?
The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y
What is the standard equation?
There is no such thing as a standard equation. Furthermore, there are standard forms - all different - for the equation of a line, a circle, a plane, a parabola, an ellipse and so on. the question needs to be more specific.
What is the standard form for a quadratic equation?
Normally a quadratic equation will graph out into a parabola. The standard form is f(x)=a(x-h)2+k
