compares their graphs?
x = 5y²
x=3y²
OA. Both parabolas open upward, and x = 3y2 is wider than
x = 5y².
B. Both parabolas open to the right, and x = 3y² is wider than x = 5y².
OC. Both parabolas open upward, and x = 5y2 is wider than
x = 3².
OD. Both parabolas open to the right, and x = 5y² is wider than x = 3y².

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

x = 5y²

x = 3y²

Here x is a function of y and so the parabola is open either to right or left.

The coefficient of y² is positive. So the parabola is open to right.

Both parabolas are open to right and x = 5y² is wider than x = 3y².
