Q. In which direction does the parabola x−10y2=0 open?Choices:(A)up(B)down(C)right(D)left
Identify squared term: Look at the equation x−10y2=0 and identify the squared term.Since y is squared, it's a horizontal parabola.
Rearrange to solve for x: Rearrange the equation to solve for x.x=10y2
Determine parabola direction: Determine the direction of the parabola based on the coefficient of y2. The coefficient of y2 is 10, which is positive, so the parabola opens to the right.
