Answer 1

which way does the porabola open?

Answer 2

no. make quick sketch

Answer 3

Where are (3,4) and (6,4) at on the xy plane?

Answer 4

Yes, the porobola opens to the right? So what is the general equation are you going to use?

Answer 5

(y - k)^2 = 4p(x-h) <-- familiar?

Answer 6

if x = y, is y = x?

Answer 7

yes, both are the same, just switched sides.

Answer 8

what do you think (h,k) means?

Answer 9

good, what is the vertex in this case?

Answer 10

if you plug the vertex in the general equation above, what would you get?

Answer 11

very good. What does p stands for?

Answer 12

very good. So what is the distance between the vertex and the focus?

Answer 13

no, try again

Answer 14

so p = ?

Answer 15

good, so what is the equation?

Answer 16

good

Answer 17

The answer is probably in a different but equivalent form

Answer 18

what are the options?

Answer 19

know, when you solve for x, what would you get?

Answer 20

(y-4)^2 = 12(x-3)

Answer 21

what do you do to isolate x?

Answer 22

bingo
