Really need help with this problem in attachment!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here it is

OpenStudy (king):

hmmm.....i think it should be a quad equation............

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation I thought it would be is this x = 1/16 (x - 3)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1/3(y-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

err x=1/3(y-3)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*x = 1/16 (y - 3)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= 1/9(y-3)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when y = 0 x =1 when y = 3 x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait x = -1/16 (y - 3)^2 There we go, how would 1/9 find the focus or directrix?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u switch variables then u rotate the graph 90 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plot: y= 1/9(x-3)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be -1/9 accutally

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I just did and it doesn't look like the graph about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just graphed my equation, and it was right. Thank you so much for helping :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur equation is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I graphed mine on a graphing calculator and it comes up as the exact graph above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph was too small to see that it took 4 units instead of 3 to equal 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's cool, well thank you for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post a bigger graph next time my eyes are funny =D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha I will try :)
