question 558

Multiple Choice

Determine the two equations necessary to graph the horizontal parabola using a graphing calculator.
- $$x + 1 = ( y + 8 ) ^ { 2 }$$

• A) \(y = \sqrt { x + 9 }\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 9 }\)
• B) \(y = \sqrt { x - 7 }\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x - 7 }\)
• C) \(y = \sqrt { x + 1 } - 8\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 1 } - 8\)
• D) \(y = \sqrt { x + 1 } - 8\) and \(y = - \sqrt { x + 1 } + 8\)
