Question

Determine the direction in which the parabola opens, and the vertex.
y^2 = + 6x + 14

A. Opens upward; ( -3, 5)
B. Opens upward; ( 3, 5)
C. Opens to the right; ( 5, 3)

Answer 1

If the x value is squared it ups up or down, If the y value is squared it opens left or right.

Answer 2

so it has to be c?

Answer 3

It can't be C. There is a mistake somewhere. It opens right, but the vertex is at (-7/3, 0)
