Concept explainers
(a)
Explain the given equations representation.
(a)
Answer to Problem 81E
The given equation represents a parabola with its axis being vertical
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The standard equation of a parabola with axis vertical is given as
This equation can be rearranged to form an equation similar to the one given.
Thus, the given equation represents a parabola with its axis being vertical.
(b)
Explain the given equations representation and how part a and part b equations are equivalent.
(b)
Answer to Problem 81E
The given equation represents a parabola with its being vertical.
The above equation is equivalent to the one in part (a) because both can be rearranged slightly to form the other equation.
Only the variables used in representation differ.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Let's consider the following equation
The standard equation of a parabola with axis vertical is given as
Thus, the given equation represents a parabola with its being vertical .
The above equation is equivalent to the one in part (a) because both can be rearranged slightly to form the other equation.
Only the variables used in representation differ.
(c)
