Use the information provided to determine how the parabola opens. Vertex is (2, 3) and Focus is (0, 3).
a) Opens Down
b) Opens Right
c) Opens Left
d) Opens Up
The focus is always 'inside' the parabola curve vertex 2,3 focus 0,3 is LEFT the vertex so the parabola opens leftward.
Opens Right
WORK SHOWN:
(y−k)2=4*a*(x−h)
Where -
k=3→ y - coordinate of the vertex
h=−2→ x - coordinate of the vertex
a=2→ Distance between the vertex and the focus
Substitute these values in the given formula
(y−3)2=4*2*(x-(-2))
(y−3)2=8(x+2)
