question 94

Multiple Choice

Determine the two equations necessary to graph the horizontal parabola using a graphing calculator.
- $x + 3 = ( y + 6 ) ^ { 2 }$

• A) \(y = \sqrt { x - 3 }\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x - 3 }\)
• B) \(y = \sqrt { x + 3 } - 6\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 3 } - 6\)
• C) \(y = \sqrt { x + 9 }\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 9 }\)
• D) \(y = \sqrt { x + 3 } - 6\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 3 } + 6\)
