You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(y+4)^2 = x-1

\n" ); document.write( "Find the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "y + 4 = $\"sqrt%28x-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = + $\"sqrt%28x-1%29\"$ - 4
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "y = - $\"sqrt%28x-1%29\"$ - 4
