Full solution

Q. In which direction does the parabola x+y2=4x + y^2 = 4 open?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)up\newline(B)down\newline(C)right\newline(D)left
  1. Identify Parabola Type: Look at the equation x+y2=4x + y^2 = 4 and identify the squared term to determine if the parabola is vertical or horizontal.\newlineSince yy is squared, it's a horizontal parabola.
  2. Solve for x: Rearrange the equation to solve for x.\newlinex=4y2x = 4 - y^2
  3. Determine Parabola Direction: Check the coefficient of y2y^2 to determine the direction of the parabola.\newlineThe coefficient of y2y^2 is 1-1, so the parabola opens to the left.
