who is good in geometry : parabola can you help me i will give medal and ill be your fan.
write the equation of parabola into its standard form. Identify the vertex and the direction of the opening. 1. y^2= 7x
okay so we can graph this one and we will get the direction and the vertex graph it here let me know what you get: Desmos.com/calculator

opening right
Okay once you have it up, just type that given equation in and it will graph it =)
what equation do you mean?
yup, i just done it and it goes to the right
This si what you shld see. I typed in the equation that was given to you, y^2=7x
Yes it goes to the right, what is the vertex?
how can i get it?
(0,0)
Well the vertex is the point where the parabola starts to turn around so the vertex for this one would be (0,0)
Yes that is correct =)
how can we work on the equation of parabola into its standard form?
Okay that part is the tricky part i don't exactly know how to do, hold on =)
