The following equations represent a parabola with vertex (0,0): y=2x², x=-2y² and x=2y².
The quadratic function can be represented by a quadratic equation in the Standard form: ax²+bx+c=0 where: a, b and c are your respective coefficients. In the quadratic function the coefficient "a" must be different than zero (a≠0) and the degree of the function must be equal to 2.
A parabola also can be represented by a quadratic equation. The vertex of an up-down facing parabola of the form ax²+bx+c is [tex]x_v=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] . Knowing the x-coordinate of vertex, you can find the y-coordinate of vertex.
The another form for describing a parabola is [tex]4p\left(x-h\right)=\left(y-k\right)^2[/tex], where h and k are the vertex coordinates.
You should analyse each one of the options, considering the equations that can be represented a parabola.
Letter A - y=2x²
The coefficients of the quadratic equation are:
a=2, b=0, c=0
Then,
[tex]x_v=\frac{-b}{2a}\\ \\ x_v=\frac{-0}{2*2}=0[/tex].
If x-coordinate of vertex is equal to 0, from y=2x²you can:
[tex]y_v=2x^2\\ \\ y_v=2*0^2=0[/tex]
Therefore, the given equation ( y=2x²) represents a parabola with vertex (0,0).
Letter B - x=-2y²
From equation [tex]4p\left(x-h\right)=\left(y-k\right)^2[/tex], you can rewrite the given equation parabola for vertex (0,0) in:
[tex]4p(x-0)=(y-0)^2\\ \\ 4*\frac{-1}{8} x=y^2\\ \\ \frac{-1}{2} x=y^2\\ \\ x=-2y^2[/tex]
Therefore, the given equation ( x=-2y²) represents a parabola with vertex (0,0).
Letter C - x=2y²
From equation [tex]4p\left(x-h\right)=\left(y-k\right)^2[/tex], you can rewrite the given equation parabola for vertex (0,0) in:
[tex]4p(x-0)=(y-0)^2\\ \\ 4*\frac{1}{8} x=y^2\\ \\ \frac{1}{2} x=y^2\\ \\ x=2y^2[/tex]
Therefore, the given equation ( x=2y²) represents a parabola with vertex (0,0).
Letter D - y=-2
The degree of equation is not equal 2. Therefore, it does not represent a parabola.
Only the equations of letter A, B and C represent a parabola with vertex (0,0). See the attached image.
