Question

The parabola x-3(y-2)^2=8 opens to the right. True or false?

Answer 1

if we solve for "x" we can see whats going on ...

x = 8 + 3(y-2)^2

the right side will never go negative so x is always gonna stay positive

Answer 2

in other words; it opens up always to the positive x axis .... to the right

Answer 3
