Question 841635: Graph each parabola by hand. Give the vertex, axis, domain, and range.
x = 2/3y^2 - 4y + 8
My work thus far:
x = 2/3y^2 - 4y + 8
x - 8 = 2/3y^2 - 4y
x - 8 = 2/3(y^2 - 6y)
x - 8 + 9 = 2/3(y^2 - 6y + 9) * After completing the square
x + 1 = 2/3(y - 3)^2
3/2(x + 1) = (y - 3)^2
Finally ends up in the right form, however, based on this equation my vertex would be: (-1,3), while the book answer is (2,3).. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

x = 2/3y^2 - 4y + 8 

 x - 8 = 2/3y^2 - 4y 

 x - 8 = 2/3(y^2 - 6y)  Completing Square

 x-8 = 

x-8 = 

x-8 + 6 = 

 x-2 = 

x =    V(2,3) axis is horizontal line y = 3

domain  x ≥ 2 Parabola opening right.  (Sketch it)

range: All real numbers



the vertex form of a Parabola opening right(a>0) or 

 where(h,k) is the vertex and  y = k  is the Line of Symmetry
