Answer to Problem 60E
The standard form of the equation of the parabola with vertex at origin, with vertical axis and passes through the point
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The axis of the parabola is horizontal and it passes through the point
Calculation:
The standard form of general equation of a vertical axis parabola is
Substitute
The parabola passes through the point
Substitute
Substitute
