Question

Determine the direction and vertex of the parabola formed by the given equation.

x = 16(y + 2)^(2) + 3

The parabola opens to the ______, and the vertex is _______.

Answer 1

you want to make it look like
\[a(x-h)=(y-k)^2\] to find the vertex of \((h,k)\)

Answer 2

since the \(y\) is squared and the coefficients of \(x\) and \(y^2\) are positive, it opens to the right

Answer 3

what is the answer to the vertex is it (3, 2)
