who is good in geometry : parabola can you help me i will give medal and ill be your fan.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write the equation of parabola into its standard form. Identify the vertex and the direction of the opening. 1. y^2= 7x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

opening right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay once you have it up, just type that given equation in and it will graph it =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what equation do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, i just done it and it goes to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This si what you shld see. I typed in the equation that was given to you, y^2=7x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it goes to the right, what is the vertex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can i get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the vertex is the point where the parabola starts to turn around so the vertex for this one would be (0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is correct =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can we work on the equation of parabola into its standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay that part is the tricky part i don't exactly know how to do, hold on =)
